About the Piece: Beethoven composed “Für Elise” in 1810, and it is thought to be written for Therese, a woman he wanted to marry in 1810. The piece is short and sweet, and is often described as romantic and loving. Some speculate that the general mood is one of agony that develops into happiness, as presumably, the relationship between Beethoven and Therese wasn’t mutual.
