Beethoven - Für Elise (Bagatelle in A minor, WoO 59)
Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for solo piano, commonly known as Für Elise (German: [fyːɐ̯ ʔeˈliːzə], English: "For Elise"), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions. It was not published during his lifetime, only being discovered (by Ludwig Nohl) 40 years after his death, and may be termed either a Bagatelle or an Albumblatt.
