Note: Who was Elise? I can’t answer that question, but I can tell you that this piece is often requested by wedding clients. This arrangement requires precise counting, as some of the noodly bits are passed from instrument to instrument.

You will enjoy these other Beethoven works arranged for string quartet: March, from the opera Fidelio; Two Bagatelles; Allegro from the Suite for Mechanical Organ; Rage over a Lost Penny; the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata; and the first movement of the Sonatina in G Major.
