Beethoven proposed to three girls and all of them rejected him. He wrote one song in particular, ‘Fur Elise’, about one of the girls he proposed to, Therese. Since Beethoven had education only up till 5th grade, his handwriting was really bad. Originally the piece was suppose to be called ‘Fur Therese’ but accidentally published as ‘Fur Elise’ since his handwriting was hard to read. In the beginning of the song (the first five seconds), the notes are suppose to be heard as “I really really really love you”. As the song goes on, it describes the memories they had ,and Beethoven’s anger and choas (sensed through the middle-end of the song), then back to “I really really really love you”.
Beautiful.
Für Elise (piano version) // Ludwig van Beethoven
this is my most favorite piece of classical music.
Beethoven composed with such great passion and depth. I love him.
If you don’t know this song, get educated.
this was my favorite composition when I was little
