The words “Für Elise” mean “for Elise” in German. Bagatelle. This is the piece of music's type (other types include sonatas, etudes, symphonies, and so on). A bagatelle is a short, lighthearted, and generally frivolous piece of music. Similar words have also been used to describe this piece. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, Für Elise has joined his Fifth Symphony and Ode to Joy as one of the most famous, recognizable pieces of Classical music in the world. It's believed that Beethoven completed Für Elise on April 27, 1810, when he was 39 years old.
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (or simply "Joy"; German: Jesus bleibet meine Freude) is the most common English title of a piece of music derived from a chorale setting from the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147 ("Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life"), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1723.
