This is the piece I selected. I can sort of play it on piano. It is called Fur Elise. It was written by Beethoven. The song was written about a lady named either Elisabeth Röckel or Therese Malfatti. It has threee main parts. The first one is the main theme and has a happy feel to it, the second one which is a little bouncier, and the third one which has a sad feel to it. Beethoven was probably thinking about all the aspects of this lady. The main theme is a happy part, so this lady was probably happy most of the time. The second one (the bouncy one) is when she felt excited. The third one is when she was sad. I think that Beethoven used a good set of notes for each part. Some of the notes clashed in the third part, which felt sad. I think that's it.

Awesome choice! Hm, so "für" means "for" in German - so this piece was written for a woman. Do you think then that the piece isn't so much about the qualities of the woman, but instead, is it about Beethoven's feelings toward that person?
