Beethoven's string quartets also deserve mention, particularly the late quartets, which are complex and rich in emotion. Other tracks like “Moonlight Sonata,” “Piano Concerto No. 5,” and “Pathétique Sonata” round out his impressive catalog. Each piece reflects his unique style and innovative spirit in music.

Beethoven has recently released new music that expands on his classical roots.
