What is Beethovens most famous works?
Among Beethoven’s piano sonatas, one would consider the Pathétique, Moonlight, Waldstein and Appassionata to be the most famous. Beethoven’s 9 symphonies are all brilliant, but perhaps the better known ones are the “Eroica”, the rich and penetrating Fifth Symphony, and the Ninth Symphony which actually made use of choral parts. Beethoven calso wrote a short, romantic composition, the Bagatelle in A minor, that became known as “Für Elise”. It was written on 27 April 1810 for Therese Malfatti, whom Beethoven was considering marrying at that time – a marriage which never eventuated.
