What are Beethoven's masterpieces?
Fur Elise is one of the most popular.
Also moonlight serenade in a minor
A "masterpiece" can be defined as a great and complex work, with many subtle undertones. Whilst Fur Elise is a pretty little bagatelle, it hardly qualifies as a "masterpiece". There is also no "Moonlight serenade", but rather, the "moonlight Sonata", which is also a lovely piece, but not at all complex as it is just for the piano, and has an easily identifiable melody.
Beethoven's masterpieces would certainly be his 5th and his 9th symphonies. Both of these orchestral works have depth and passion, the sign of true masterpieces.

Saint-Saens hymn tune from third symphony?
To me it sounded a bit like "To Be A Pilgrim" - John Bunyan's hymn. But that music was written by Vaughan Williams, based on an English folk song. Could the French by poaching English folk songs as well? :-)) * In fact, the organ melody from Saint Saens' 3rd Symphony is not a hymn tune, though Saint-Saens may well have taken a phrase here or there from well-known hymns, and reworked it to make it completely original. The melody was popularised in 1977 as the song "If I Had Words" by Yvonne Keeley and Scott Fitzgerald. The film clip was set in a church, complete with congregation waving their arms, so it may have given the impression it was based on a hymn tune. The only connection to hymns was the use of an organ.

How did Bach write his name in his music?
In several of his compositions Bach employed a kind of musical signature, his name expressed in musical notes. B signified B flat, A = A, C = C, and H was a German designation for B, so the letters of his name formed the sequence B flat-A-C-B. This is not a typical melody, but Bach used it as a cell on which to build fugues and other contrapuntal structures. Franz Liszt also wrote a fantasy and fugue on B-A-C-H for solo organ.
Beethoven took piano lessons with a very famous composer who said that about beethoven Who was it?

Why did bach like the numbers 14 and 41?
1. There is no evidence whatsoever that he did "like" those numbers.
2. Some scholars, and many more non-scholars, believe that Bach busied himself by applying a kind of letter-number code to music, in which A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 etc., I and J being treated as the same letter. If you apply this code to the letters BACH, you get 14 as a sum; if you apply it to JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, the result would be 41.
3. When you start counting whatever is there in the music, you might, with Bach, fairly regularly get 14 as an interesting clue to follow. Therefore, even the sceptics among Bach scholars tend to acknowledge that there might be something to the code thesis.
Other scholars applied the randomly chosen number 13 to the same music, coming up with other, comparably interesting results.
The problem is when to stop counting, since in music, just about everything can be counted (notes, beats, bars, instruments, movements, singers, occurences of a motive etc); and, in Bach, just about everything has been counted. Numbers are open to all kinds of symbolisms (1 = God/unity, 2 = Jesus, 3 = trinity, 4 = evangelists/elements/temperaments/humors/seasons/... , 5 = books of Moses/Old Covenant, 6 = twice 3 = number of days in which God created everything ...). So, more often than not, you get an indistinct cluster of information which, in the end, means nothing and tells you even less about the music in question, which, of course, follows musical rules.

Actually, it's "Le Salon de Musique," from Souvenirs du Cháteau, a five-piece piano collection by American composer Eugénie R. Rocherolle. The passage is written just below the title on the sheet music.
