Beethoven's Für Elise: The story behind the masterpiece

article image placeholderUploaded by @theertha
Beethovens for Elise, a piece I think most of us have heard at least once in our lives. This piece was actually made by one of his students that he was madly in love with. She was a mediocre pianist and wasn't that great. It so he made this melody so easy that even she could play it and impress other people. Hence the iconic yet very easy beginning. But then he finds out she was engaged to another man midway through writing

In this SWELL I talk about Beethoven's 'Für Elise' and it's history. Don't break Beethoven's heart, he'll make a revenge track for the world to hear:)

ICONIC

Hey Peter, that's so good. I didn't know the story behind it. And like it's, it's crazy how back then it wasn't given much attention. But now it's so iconic that will be maintaining me here. Just any fragile sight
