Für Elise

Ludwig van Beethoven

For trumpet and piano

Written in E minor, range G3 to B5

Someone at the piano late at night plays a little tune for a person they can’t stop thinking about. Stormier thoughts break in, but the tune always comes back. It was only published in 1867, forty years after Beethoven’s death, and nobody knows for sure who Elise was.
