(33-35)You probably have heard Beethoven’s famous piano piece “For Elise,”but do you know who “Elise” was? 
One story is that Elise was Elisabeth Röckel. She once sang inBeethoven’s opera Fidelio, and the two became very good friends.Beethoven called her “Elise.” When Röckel was leaving the city ofVienna, Beethoven wrote “For Elise” to say goodbye to her. Anotherstory is that Elise was Therese Malfatti. Beethoven was in love withher. He wrote a piece for her and put “For Therese” on the manuscript. Malfatti kept themanuscript and left it to her family when she died. Later, a man copied the manuscriptand wrote “For Elise” by mistake. There is another possible Elise: Elise Barensfeld. Shelearned the piano from Malfatti, the same Malfatti in the second story. To help Malfatti,Beethoven wrote the piece for her to use to teach Barensfeld.
These are just some guesses about who Elise was. We may never know the right answer.No one knew about the piece until 1867, when the manuscript was found. This was 40 yearsafter Beethoven’s death, so he wasn’t around to tell us who Elise was. Only one thing is forsure: “For Elise” will always be enjoyed
