Fur Elise: Ludwig Van Beethoven
Scenes from the ballet Coppelia
by the members of the Bolshoi Ballet.
Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for solo piano, commonly known as "Für Elise" (English: "For Elise"), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions.
According to wikipedia, the score was discovered and published in 1867, 40 years after the composer's death. It is believed that the original work may have been named "Für Therese", a reference to Therese Malfatti, who was one of Beethoven's friends and students and who turned down Beethoven's proposal in 1810 to marry the Austrian nobleman and state official Wilhelm von Droßdik. It is possible that the discoverer of the score incorrectly interpreted the name as Elise.
Lovely synchronization of an early 19th century bagatelle with a late 19th century ballent. A treat for the ears and the eyes.
