What Beethoven song is this?

I have to put you straight. It is NOT a 'song'. Do you hear a voice? Any words? No! Then it cannot possibly be a song, for a voice and words are essential components of this art form. It is far better to refer to a 'piece', a 'work' or a 'composition'. But NEVER a song (unless it IS one, of course!).
