Introduction
Even though this is definitely one of Ludwig Van Beethoven‘s most famous pieces of music, would you believe that it was only found about 40 years after he died? It was discovered in one of Beethoven’s notebooks.
The actual name of the piece is Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for solo piano and nobody knows for sure who it is written for. Most people think Beethoven wrote it for a woman named Therese Malfatti, because they think Beethoven’s handwriting was copied over incorrectly as “Elise” when it was translated. The story is kind of sad, because Beethoven wanted to marry Therese, but she didn’t want to marry him.
