She'll Never Know
Lyrics written by
Tony Hiller, Nicky Graham
Original music written by
Ludwig van Beethoven
based on Beethoven's "Fur Elise"
Für Elise (which is German for For Elise) was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven around 1810 when he was 40 years old and firmly established as one of the greatest composers in history. It is named "Für Elise" because a Beethoven researcher named Ludwig Nohl claimed to have seen this dedication on the original autograph which has been missing since, and this has been the cause of some speculation. The piece was not published until 1865 well after Beethoven's death in 1827, and no distinct records, letters, or accounts from people at the time make mention of an "Elise" in the composer's life. Beethoven was in love with a woman named Therese Malfatti around the time he created the work, and one of the theories that has circulated for a long time has been that Ludwig Nohl misread the composer's poor handwriting which then would have said "Für Therese".
In 2009 a Beethoven researcher named Klaus Martin Kopitz made the claim that "Elise" may have been the nickname of opera singer Elisabeth Röckel whom the composer met a few years prior to writing the piece. The two enjoyed a close friendship according to stories told by Röckel herself, but she would later marry Beethoven's on-and-off friend and rival Johann Nepomuk Hummel. According to Kopitz, the church records for the christening of Röckel's first child in 1814 give her own name as Maria Eva Elise. He found the records in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, suggesting that Röckel may indeed have been known as "Elise" at least in Viennese circles.
However, whether Elise was misread, a known or unknown love or a woman who simply inspired Beethoven to write this piece, it remains one of many unsolved mysteries left to ponder.
