Lil' Beethoven is the 19th album by the Americanrock band Sparks, released in 2002.
History
By 2002, Sparks had released eighteen albums, the last several of them in the new wave/synthpop vein. While this had been successful, breaking them in the US with 1983's "Cool Places" and in Germany with "When Do I Get To Sing 'My Way'?" in 1995, it had not secured them much critical acclaim or a consistent audience. 1997's Plagiarism had been intended to introduce the group's history to their new German audience, while building on the success with high-profile collaborations for the UK and US audience. It had only been partially successful.
The next album, Balls, had not been at all successful and was generally perceived as Sparks treading water. Sparks then decided to change track, dropping the synthpop sound, reducing the musical palette and developing the music upon piano lines and lyrics of Ron Mael and the vocals of Russell Mael.

Beethoven - Für Elise (Piano Version)
Beethoven himself.
https://youtu.be/rEEStLHQfxc
Moonlight Sonata for Piano and Orchestra
Für Elise is undeniably one of the most popular piano pieces in existence. Elise - whoever she is - isn’t the only mystery woman in Beethoven’s life. The subject of his “Immortal Beloved” letters has also been much debated over the years.
The identity of "Elise" has eluded historians and scholars for decades. The bagatelle wasn’t discovered and published until 40 years after Beethoven’s death, so he certainly wasn’t around to tell tales of the woman who had inspired the composition. Scholars believe “Elise” must have been pretty close to Beethoven, but no one has been able to definitively prove who she really was.
Performed by Georgii Cherkin - piano
Thank you for watching Für Elise by Beethoven ...

While this had been successful, breaking them in the US with 1983's "Cool Places" and in Germany with "When Do I Get To Sing 'My Way'?" in 1995, it had not secured them much critical acclaim or a consistent audience. 1997's Plagiarism had been intended to introduce the group's history to their new German audience, while building on the success with high-profile collaborations for the UK and US audience. It had only been partially successful.
The next album, Balls, had not been at all successful and was generally perceived as Sparks treading water. Sparks then decided to change track, dropping the synthpop sound, reducing the musical palette and developing the music upon piano lines and lyrics of Ron Mael and the vocals of Russell Mael.
Home, my baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home As we walk through the morning rain And the skies are clearing And the streets are glistening Streets named for New England trees A rainbow forms But we're both colorblind But we can hear what others can't hear We can hear the sound of a chorus singing Home, my baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home My baby's taking me home
Advertisement ... The last time we got such a bumper brood of cicadas was back in 1803, so while we’re seeing in the double brood with the likes of Taylor Swift and Lil> Nas X, the last Brood X double bill was going down to the tune of Beethoven. ... .
It was mid-November 2002, the band’s career-reinvigorating album Lil>’ Beethoven had come out on the same day our daughter was born a month earlier, and I drove down to Cornwall to pick up my wife.
Many of those quoted were unnamed at their request, but others went on record, including two well-known fellow rock drummers ... SPARKS ... Already released in late April were ‘Balls’ (2000), ‘Lil>’ Beethoven’ (2002) and ‘Hello Young Lovers’ (2006).
