what were the songs called that Beethoven wrote?

Question

Any songs that he has ever written.
E.G. Fur Elise

Answer 1

Are you talkina about the "kinds" of compositions he wrote. He was a pianist so he wrote a lot of stuff for pianos. He wrote piano sonatas, Bagatelles, piano concertos, contra dances, ecossaises, symphonies, overtures, chamber works for strings and plenty of vocals.

If you are talking about his specific works (like the names that are associated with some of his more popular works) then he wrote
Fur Elise
The Moonlight Sonata
Pathetique
Waldstein
Pastoral
Tempest
The Hunt
Appasionata
For Therese
Hammerklavier
The Turkish March
Eroica
Pastoral (Symphony #6)
Choral
Emperor
The Egmont Overture
Rage over a lost penny
Ghost
Spring

This is obviously not everything because everything he wrote is not named.

Check out the site in reference. They have a nice list and they also allow you to download the MIDIs and then you can listen to them.

He actually wrote very little compared to other composers such as J.S.Bach, Vivaldi, Scarlatti, and Mozart. That is because he lived a relatively short life also. Mozart, for example, wrote 41 symphonies and Beethoven had only 9.

Answer 2

In discussing classical music, the term "song" is restricted to works that are actually sung, not instrumental music. Für Elise is an instrumental work (piano solo), so would not properly be called a song.

I am assuming, then, that you are looking for a complete list of Beethoven's works. I'm not going to attempt such a list here -- he wrote hundreds of pieces -- but you can find one in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, in the article on Beethoven. (Grove is a standard reference work; any good library should have it.) There's also a list at http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~simonj/lvb/opus.html , but it may be less complete. Good luck!

Answer 5

most were Beethoven's Symphonies EX: Symphony 25

Answer 6

You are right. Fur Elise was not written for a girl named Elise, but for a Therese. The name was smeared over time.

Ode to Joy. One of my favorites. I play the cello, and that was one of the first ones I learned by Beethoven.
