A number of questions regarding Beethoven?s most famous bagatelle, ?Für Elise?, remain unanswered until today: What happened to the complete autograph and who was ?Elise?? The bagatelle was written between 1808 and 1810. It was first published in 1867 by the Beethoven scholar Ludwig Nohl who still had access to Beethoven?s autograph. What has survived, however, is an extensive autograph draft that Beethoven substantially revised around 1822 for a planned but then unrealised collection of bagatelles and which differs significantly from the known printed version.
