Best Answer

Presumably Queen Victoria or prince Albert

The "scotch" symphony owes as much to it's Scottish roots as Donald Trump.

If you are looking for a piece of music dedicated to the true ethnic Scot, then don't look here.

If however you are looking for Brigadoon, then you have truly found it, esp in the 2nd movement

All said though a darned fine piece of romanticised piece of classicismism.

And if you were ever in doubt about whether the Scots are the lost tribe of Israel, Felix was in no such doubts vzv the incredible Yiddish melody in the 1st movement.

If you were ever in any doubt just how much Felix fancied the pants off Queen Vic, all I can say is listen to the cello tune in the third movement.

Bliss.

And to round it all off a real whoop from the horns in the finale.

Beethoven's Symphony No 3 the Eroica symphony was originally dedicated to whom?

I think it's because Eroica means Heroic, and he wanted it to be called Heroic symphony in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte, but later on he erased the dedication to Bonaparte but kept the name.

Which symphony has Fur Elise in it?

None. It is neither part of a symphony, nor has it any connections to a symphony. Für Elise is a short, romantic composition, actually called the Bagatelle in A minor.The name Für Elise means "for Elise" in Beethoven's native language of German, but the piece was not written for a lady named Elise. It was actually written for one of his students, Therese Malfatti von Rohrenbach zu Dezza, whom he hoped to marry (but never did). It is believed that, due to Beethoven's illegible writing style, the title was misread by the publisher, and instead titled "For Elise" instead of "For Therese".


Beethoven's best works?

Among the many wonderful compositions of Beethoven, the symphony that stands out for its popular appeal ever since written is his 5th Symphony, with its frighteningly grand repetitions and overall power. By contrast, a nearly equally famous piece is his Moonlight Sonata, a piano-piece that demonstrates an exquisitely light touch, tranquil and even dreamy in character.


What were Beethoven's most famous pieces?

This is subjective and a matter of opinion as there are many famous pieces by Beethoven. Much of his music is recognisable by melody, even though people may not be familiar with the name.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.There are far too many exceptional pieces by Beethoven to be able to say which is the "best".For some, Beethoven's most famous piece of music is the fourth movement of the Ninth Symphony. The reasoning behind this answer is its popularity in the movie industry in addition to its inclusion on scores of hymnals as the tune paired with the text "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee." It is widely regarded as the finest symphonic composition of all time, and Beethoven was completely deaf when he wrote it.
