Für Elise
致爱丽丝
Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is probably one of the most recognizable
pieces of music in the world. Even if you don't recognize the name,
you'll recognize the melody when you hear it. The melodic strains of Fur
Elise can be found online in many forms, playing on baby toys, and in
many classical music collections.
The official title is Bagatelle in A minor WoO59, though it is known
almost exclusively as Fur Elise, which in German translates as "For
Elise." Fur Elise was only a little note of dedication on the
manuscript. There is some controversy over who Elise may have been. It
is thought that Beethoven wrote this emotional piece sometime around
1810. At that time in his life, Beethoven was hoping to marry Therese
Malfatti, who eventually turned him down. There is a theory that whoever
transcribed the piece after Beethoven's death misread the dedication,
translating it as "Fur Elise" instead of "Fur Therese." There are an
equal number of scholars who disagree with this theory. Elise may have
been an undocumented person in Beethoven's life, or Elise may have been
just a name he scrawled on the manuscript. Unless some kind of
documentation is uncovered, we will never know for sure.
No matter who inspired Beethoven to write this memorable piece of music,
it has become one of the great musical classics of all time. If we look
to the real title, we see that this piece is of the style called a
bagatelle, which translates to "a trifle." A bagatelle is a musical form
known for being short, light and mellow. The piece also utilizes the
form known as a rondo, which uses a structure of A B A C A, with
variations on that theme. As the name tells us, this melody is in the
key of A minor, but it is typical of Beethoven's music. Discordant notes
and shifting of the tonal center are woven into the piece, creating not
only a lovely melody, but a musical classic that has long outlived its
author.
If there is one piece that encapsulates Beethoven's raw emotions, it
would be "Fur Elise." But did you know that no one heard Fur Elise
during the time that Beethoven lived? It wasn't until Beethoven's death
that this piece was played to an audience.
