One would likely be able to find the music for Fur Elise at their local music store, as it is very popular. You may also check online sheet music sites for the work.
That would be Beethoven's Bagatelle in A minor, WoO 59 -"Für Elise"
Playing Fur-Elise with a wooden instrument would need an accompaniment--preferably from a string orchestra. A keyboard accompaniment may not be used as it is a work for solo piano. An interesting alternative would be to transcribe it to a woodwind quartet or quintet.
Unfortunately, it would appear not. In 1810, Beethoven composed the Bagatelle in A minor that became known as "Für Elise" for Therese Malfatti. This was the one whom Beethoven was considering marrying at that time, but the marriage never eventuated. There is some question as to whether the name Elise was simply a nickname for Therese, or whether the publisher could not read Beethoven's handwriting.
um... classical...? In terms of general classifications, Beethoven is seen as transitional composer between the Classical and Romantic periods. Other notables who composed around this time are Haydn and Mozart. In terms of his compositions, that would be a matter of opinion. Certainly his symphonies and sonatas would be at the top of the list.
Beethoven had 32 piano sonatas. The first thing to do is obtain the sheet music. Then, if you know how to read music, just work at it. If you do not, I would recommend getting piano lessons and learning how before attempting to play pieces at that level.
According to http://www.giftsonline.net/catalog/Piano_Music_Boxes.html it would cost you $85.00 to get a music box that plays Beethoven's For Elise.

Beethoven is actually a composer and not a song. Therefore, Beethoven cannot be "played" on a piano. If you would like to play one of Beethoven's works for piano I would suggest checking out your local sheet music store for some of his pieces. They are all very common and easily accessible.

Most music stores would sell the sheet music. Or check if your public library has it.
I would think local churches would allow you to copy their sheet music if you asked. The related link is sheet music for the song.
Beethoven wrote a lot of 'masterpieces.' His best known pieces would probably be the Moonlight Sonata, especially the first movement, his Pathetique Sonata, and the most infamous, Fur Elise. Hope this helps!!
A very unusual question ! Yes, I would say that anyone that understands Beethoven's contributions to classical music would be proud to be his landsman.
Back then the best kind of music they would listen to was classical piano music such as Mozart and Beethoven
