For whom is Beethoven's "Fur Elise"?

"Fur Elise" is one of the most famous works of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven. A decade ago, a German musician, Klaus Martin Kopitsch, said he had unmasked who Elisa was. But to this day his revelation is just one of the three versions of the mysterious inspiration of the work. Klaus Martin Kopitz has announced that it's about singer Elizabeth Roeckel, in which Beethoven fell in love with her during her stay in Vienna. The beauty arrived in the Austrian capital in 1807, along with his brother Joseph Roeckel, who was famous for the role of Florest in Beethoven's Fidelio opera. "Elizabeth quickly fits into the elite of Vienna under the name of Eliza," Kopitsz says, adding: "There was no other woman named Eliza or Elizabeth in the life of Beethoven at that time." Beethoven went to Vienna only 21 years to take music lessons with the famous Austrian composer Josef Haydn.

The young man improvises on the piano by experimenting with his own techniques. Often, new, unfamiliar melodies come out of the primal way beneath his fingers. Unfortunately, Beethoven is only 30 when his hearing problems begin. For a musician, such a diagnosis is more terrible than death. It is becoming more and more closed in itself and prefers to be a part of people. Despite his full deafness, however, he continues to create and some of his best works were created at the end of his life. Researchers working on Beethoven's creativity agree that he has the "worst handwriting of the world". It is known that he also had an unclear diction. This is witnessed by many of his associates who say that even in a simple conversation, people hardly understood it. For this reason speech therapists express the assumption that the composer suffered from dyslexia, and that it was the reason for his vague diction and his illegible handwriting? Why is this clarification important? "Well, some musicians think his piano play, known as Elisa, may actually be" Fur Elise "? In their view, this was not only a spelling and linguistic, but also a psychological significance - in terms of what kind of dedication is the work - written "for" or devoted "to"? The play was published 40 years after Beethoven's death in 1867 by a musician who accidentally finds it in an archive.

Beethoven himself was long dead to be asked about the title, and who was the woman behind the name Elise. By the fascinating news of Kopitsz that it was Elizabeth Roeckel, there was a more popular version of the world that Beethoven devoted his work to the wife of Russian Emperor Alexander I - Elizabeth Alexeyevna - a world-famous beauty. There is also a third woman whom Beethoven researchers consider to be a worthy contender of the previous two - the student of composer Teresa Malfatti, in which he was in love and even offered her a marriage in 1810, the year in which the play was written. Therese has denied him, and sounds logical that Beethoven has drastically accepted this refusal by pouring out his feelings into a piano play? ... Kopits, however, insists that Beethoven wrote "Elisabeth," a farewell to Elizabeth Roeckel, in the year of her departure from Vienna - 1810 - as a farewell sign of her feelings for her? ... The sad thing is that none of these three women respond to Beethoven's feelings. He stays alone for the rest of his life. He never married and have no children. This very lonely man, sunk in the silence of his deafness, however, creates some of the most magnificent musical masterpieces of mankind.
