About the Song
"Fr Elise" (English: "For Elise") is the popular name of the bagatelle in A minor (WoO 59 and Bia 515), marked poco moto, a piece of music for solo piano by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), dated 27 April 1810. Beethoven scholars are not entirely certain who "Elise" was. The most reasonable theory is that Beethoven originally titled his work "Fr Therese", Therese being Therese Malfatti von Rohrenbach zu Dezza (1792-1851), whom Beethoven intended to marry in 1810 and was also one of his students. However, she declined Beethoven's proposal. In 1816 Therese, who was the daughter of the Viennese merchant Jacob Malfatti von Rohrenbach (1769-1829), married the Austrian nobleman and state official Wilhelm von Drodik (1771-1859). When the work was published in 1865, the discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, mistranscribed the illegible title as "Fr Elise". The autograph is lost. "Elise" might also.    Download this sheet!
