A favorite Beethoven Piece (Quiz)?

Well probably not a quiz, but a tricky question. This one came up from my online friend Jaye telling me this on the phone months back with my real life friend Jenifer! Ok Here is the Question (Very similar to philip's thread but tricky):


"What is your Favorite Beethoven Piece?"

Now the tough part... you can ONLY pick one!

My favourite work by Beethoven is the Missa Solemnis. However, the String Quartet no.15 is the work i am in love with.

Yes -a very tough question! I'll pick the 4^th piano conceto.

LOVE and ADORE Ludwig and his music!

Nice picks!!

The 9th! His finale, his ambition, and his love. My passion......and so on.....and so on.....love, peace......

It is so tough to choose only one work from Beethoven as my favorite. So I guess if I really had to choose only one work then I guess I would go with the Eroica Symphony.

Not my choice for an extended desert island sojourn, Hollywood, but still a great (revolutionary) symphony, no doubt about it. The "Eroica" changed it all, didn't it? !!!!

I stick to the Grosse Fuge.

Fair enough, stubborn Nederlander. I stick to nothing, but for a desert island I will not take the Triple or the Battle.
I am stubborn about those works.

Ohhhhh, choosing just one...... OK. I'm with Joyful: 4th Piano Concerto

Philip - You got me laughing real good! :-D

hollywood - interestings pick! :-D

Everyone - For the curious of wondering what's mine... It's Piano Concerto #3 is my favorite!

Hi Angel! --- My favorite Beethoven music? Huuuuum. That's really difficult to answer since the the sign of a true musical genius is the fact that they write a wealth of musical masterpieces. Do I have to pick just one? Oh dear. Well if I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do so I guess I'd have to say his 9th symphony. But I also love his other symphonies, op. 47 ( the so called Kreutzer Sonata- it should be named The Bridgetower- Kreutzer didn't respect this piece ), op.111, op. 132, op.27 no.2 ("Moonlight"), piano concerto no. 5, op.57 ("Appassionata"),Fur Elise, and on and on and on. Oh my. I told you it was impossible for me to pick one. Sorry

Hello Abrentano,
I forgot to wish you "welcome". You're right of course, it's difficult to name just one piece. So, I will say : all of it, with the exception of the Triple Conncerto and the Battle Symphony. There, that should cover it. Hah!

A piece of Beethoven is never enough! It must be all or none well, I think I'll jus nibble/..Mass in C Major?


To suffer silently in plain view is the most insufferable of all suffering-PIR
