What is the background of the piano music dedicated to Alice?

Beethoven, who is nearly 40 years old, taught a female student named Therese marfa during the period of 1808- 18 10, and he had a good impression on her. Once, I wrote her a little song "Little Things in A Minor" with great pleasure, and wrote the words "Dedicated to Teresa, 18 10 April 27th, in memory" on the music score. ?

Since then, the music has stayed at Teresa's place. Beethoven didn't keep his own manuscript, so this piece didn't appear in the album after his death. It was not until 65438+ 1960 that the German musician Noel wrote a biography of Beethoven, and the manuscript of this piece of music was found in the relics of Teresa marfa.

1867, when Noel published the score of this piece in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart, he misspelled the original name "To Teresa" into "To Alice". Since then, this piano work has been widely circulated around the world with the name "To Alice", but its original name "To Teresa" has been forgotten.

This piece of music can be heard as a five-part Rondo in Abaka form.

This is time 38 in a minor. It begins with the chorus A, which is a flowing melody in binary form, marked Poco moto (literally meaning "a trick", a speed indicator that does not appear in Beethoven's other works), accompanied by arpeggio left hand.

The unaccompanied oscillation between the tonic e and its semitone low adjacent d key begins the melody, which has become one of the most famous openings in classical music, but it has also become the main topic of music discussion.
