There is one Beethoven piece that almost all learners of the classical piano try to play. It is dedicated to a woman (nobody quite seems to know exactly who she was), and its simple title is 'Fuer ~' (i.e., 'for') ... (what was her name?)

Beethoven was a giant of Western classical music, overshadowed perhaps only by Bach. He is still one of the most famous and inspiring composers of all time.
