Who did Ludwig van Beethoven work for?

Answer 1

Over his lifetime Beethoven wrote for hundreds of people by commission or out of friendship. He was paid to compose by such noblemen as Prince Lichnowsky and Prince Lobokwitz in Vienna and the Elector, Maximillian Franz in Bonn. He wrote pieces for his friends, such as the "Farewell" piano sonata for Archduke Rudolph, the "Fur Elise" for Therese Malfatti and the "Moonlight Sonata" for Giulietta Giuccardi.

Answer 2

Some time after 1779, Beethoven began his studies with his most important teacher in Bonn, Christian Gottlob Neefe, who was appointed the Court's Organist in that year Neefe taught Beethoven composition, and by March 1783 had helped him write his first published composition: a set of keyboard variations (WoO 63). Beethoven soon began working with Neefe as assistant organist, first on an unpaid basis (1781), and then as paid employee (1784) of the court chapel conducted by the Kapellmeister Andrea Luchesi. His first three piano sonatas, named "Kurfürst" ("Elector") for their dedication to the Elector Maximilian Frederick, were published in 1783. Maximilian Frederick, who died in 1784, not long after Beethoven's appointment as assistant organist, had noticed Beethoven's talent early, and had subsidized and encouraged the young Beethoven's musical studies.

Answer 3

In 1810, Beethoven composed the Bagatelle in A minor that became known as "Für Elise" for Therese Malfatti. It is not a "song".

This was the one whom Beethoven was considering marrying at that time, but the marriage never eventuated. There is some question as to whether the name Elise was simply a nickname for Therese, or whether the publisher could not read Beethoven's handwriting.
