"Ta ta ta, WoO 162" is a short piano piece composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early 1800s. The piece was not published during Beethoven's lifetime and was only discovered in the 20th century. The piece consists of a single movement and is characterized by its playful and lighthearted melody. The title "Ta ta ta" refers to the repeated three-note motif that is heard throughout the piece. The motif is first introduced in the opening bars and is then repeated in various forms throughout the piece. The piece is written in the key of C major and has a simple ABA form. The A section features the "Ta ta ta" motif and is followed by a contrasting B section that features a more lyrical melody. The A section is then repeated with slight variations before the piece comes to a close. Despite its brevity, "Ta ta ta" is a charming and delightful piece that showcases Beethoven's skill at crafting memorable melodies. It is often performed as an encore piece and is a favorite among pianists and audiences alike.
