We could say that Für Elise is not only Beethoven’s most famous composition but perhaps that of the entire repertoire of classical music. Although Beethoven wrote the piece in 1810, as Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor, scholars discovered and published it 40 years after the composer’s death, in 1867. Ηow did the name with the female name come about? There are many hypotheses about that, but in fact we do not know exactly who Eliza was.
The key is A minor and the meter is in 3/4. In terms of structure, it follows the rondo form and is at a rather fast tempo (poco moto).
Although the piece is originally composed for piano, you’ll find here a transcription for marimba. You can download for free a PDF file with marimba sheet music for the piece, and listen to the original piece for piano as well.
