This is from my listing of the first recordings of each work of Beethoven. 
I have been unable to find any pre-electric recording of Für Elise. 
Surely, there must be one. Can anyone please help me. Pre-electrics 
include not only acoustic lateral cuts but also Edisons, cylinders, and 
even music boxes. If you want a modern music box, just go to Amazon and 
search for "Fur Elisa Music Box" and you'll get

These all come wrapped around an Acrylic box, with the mechanism itself.

They would make wonderful gifts. You can get more that are plain (without 
the box).

I have been arguing that the first recording of Beethoven is the 
performance of the second part of Wellington's Victory on
Maelzel's Panharmonicon, Hess 108, 1813. Forgive me for my relaxed 
definition of a recording! But there remains possibility of a music box of 
Für Elisa (composed in 1808-1810) or the slow movement of the Moonschein 
sonata (1801). (Music boxes go to back to 9th-century Baghdad.)
