"Important" is a subjective term that is best dealt with by considering which pieces are the most well-known, or famous.

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" (his third symphony), the rich and penetrating Fifth Symphony (Symphony No. 5 in C minor), and the Ninth Symphony (Symphony No. 9 in D minor) which, unlike preceding symphonies, actually made use of choral parts in the well-known "Ode to Joy".

Beethoven also wrote a short, romantic composition, the Bagatelle in A minor, that became known as "Für Elise". It was written in April 1810 for Therese Malfatti, whom Beethoven was considering marrying at that time - a marriage which never eventuated.

Equally famous are his one and only Opera, 'Fidelio' and the 'Archduke Trio', or Piano Trio no.7.
