Für Elise

Rare card · No. 55180

Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59, Bia 515) for solo piano, commonly known as "Für Elise" (German: [fyːɐ̯ ʔeˈliːzə], transl. 'For Elise'), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions. It was not published during his lifetime but 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, and Elise Barensfeld.
