Dream Piano : Play the piano with the For Elise song
Everyone knows the tender and earnest melodies in Ludwig van Beethoven's "For Elise". But no one is sure, why the genius musician named the song "Letter to Elise" and who his Elise is.
So far, For Elise's notes have been used as a material for many genres, from rock, jazz, to phone bells - a testament to the popularity of music in popular cultural life. If Beethoven was alive and received the rights, the talented composer would be a wealthy gentleman.
Â
For Elise is written in La minor accent, just a small skit in Beethoven's massive musical heritage. After the sweet melody, people were curious about an Elise (if she was real) that made the musician write a letter with music.
Some scholars guessed, Elise was Therese - she was a small student taught by Beethoven, proposed by him in 1810, but rebuffed him to marry a wealthy Austrian noble.
However, Klaus Martin Kopitz, a music researcher in Berlin, said that Elise was actually Elisabeth Roeckel, whom Beethoven had long ago remembered.
"For many years, I have studied to write a book" Beethoven in the eyes of his contemporaries "(Beethoven in the eyes of contemporaries), gathering letters, poetry and memoirs of those who knew Beethoven." Some women were mentioned, including Elisabeth Roeckel, "Kopitz shared with Deutsche Welle.
Elisabeth Roeckel, born in 1793, is the sister of singer Joseph Roeckel - who participated in Beethoven's musical Fidelio. Elisabeth is passionate about music. She played the piano and later became a singer. Elisabeth is often called by her friends by her intimate name, Elise. The Elise sisters are very close to Beethoven.
According to Kopitz, the letters Elise wrote to friends still hold today show that, between them may not simply exist friendship. In a letter, Elise recalls an evening between her and Beethoven and musicians like Mauro Giuliani, Johann Nepomuk Hummel - who later became Elise's husband.
