By Ludwig van Beethoven
Für Elise was written by Beethoven in 1810. It is a short Album Leaf written as a miniature rondo with two episodes. The work was dedicated to Therese Malfatti, the niece of Beethoven’s physician, and the daughter of Jakob von Malfatti. It has even been suggested that Beethoven proposed marriage to Therese but she refused. Für Elise is probably the most played piano work ever written by Beethoven.
