Fur Elise = Fur Therese

[presto agitato]

Did you know that the orginal title of this ultra-famous piano work is "Fur Therese". The editor made a big mistake LOL.

Beethoven also dedicated one of his piano sonatas to Countess Therese von Brunsvik
Sonata No. 24 in F sharp major Op 78

[Waldszenen]

Good you noticed

It was probably why Therese rejected Beethoven's futile marriage proposal.

It looked like "Elise" with his handwritting.

It was not quite  the Editor. The discoverer of this piece, Her Ludwig Nohl, "mistranscribed" the title when he gave the work for publishing in 1865. Beethoven's autographed title had been obviously lost.

Quoting from Wikipedia

"In some parts of Taiwan, Iran and most probably in other countries, the tune is played by garbage trucks to notify people to bring their trash out to be picked up.

In Brazil and Turkey the tune is played on trucks that sell gas cylinders to notify people that the truck is nearby"

Music for the ears indeed for today's Thereses and Elises living in these countries!

As an Iranian, I am ashamed of this...
