Ludwig van Beethoven - For Elise / Людвиг ван Бетховен - К Элизе

Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59, Bia 515) for solo piano, commonly known as “Für Elise“ (English: “For Elise“), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most popular compositions. It was not published during his lifetime, only being discovered (by Ludwig Nohl) 40 years after his death, and may be termed either a Bagatelle or an Albumblatt. The identity of “Elise“ is unknown; researchers have suggested Therese Malfatti, Elisabeth Röckel, or Elise Barensfeld.
