"It's so musical I wonder why Ludwig didn't alter his beloved's name just for the euphony of it all. "Fur Elsa" would have swayed me much more."

I think it depends on the pronunciation you use. In German Elise (3 syllables) sounds much more melodic and elegant than Elsa (2 syllables).

I love Elise!
