Speculation is fun, if you’re aware that you’re not doing science.

Another fun theory I’ve read is that the piece was called “Für X” for different values of X at different times.

According to this theory, Beethoven intentionally didn’t publish it so that he could continue to use the same piece to impress different women, “Look what I wrote for you”.

Efficient.
