It became known as "Fur Elise" (For 'Elise') only after it was discovered posthumously and #published in 1867, 40 years after the #composer's death(!), in an #anthology by Ludwig Nohl, "New Letters by #Beethoven".
The inscription read: "For Elise on April 27 in memory by L. v. Bthvn"
But, who was "Elise"?!? Scholars suggest three possibilities.
