the April 27, 1810, was originally titled "To Teresa." A copyist, in a moment of history, erroneously titled "Fur Elise", leaving the title as the definitive movement.
Legend has it that on one occasion when Beethoven was invited to a social gathering he met a young (presumably Elisa or Teresa) that began on the piano. The teacher, upon learning that she could play was called to interpret for him some tunes. The girl was well pleased, playing several pieces of contemporary composers, but interestingly, no composition him. Beethoven then asked to play some of his piano sonatas, to which the girl replied that she did because they were too complicated for her. Beethoven
then composed a simple tune, ideal for beginners, a unique beauty and one of the most popular worldwide.
The piece consists of 3 main parts. The first, quiet and romantic, even sweet, in which the melody is presented as universally recognized. The second is like an awakening, a joy that is growing, where the scales are quick to give a contrast with the first part. Suddenly, the tune falls (I tend to believe that that is the trademark of Beethoven) enter the minor keys, even sad, so back to the original melody, but tinged with more dramatic and romantic.
notice in my version is also the influences of modern composers such as Vangelis . And if you have some extra notes (a musician friend challenged me saying that the compositions of Beethoven or lack spare them a note ... but it is also true that in Beethoven's time there were no electronic arrangements)
