Looking for a piece by Beethoven

I hope this is the right forum to ask for this in.

There's this beautiful piece by Beethoven I heard yesterday, but I have no idea what it's called--only know it's by Beethoven. It's in F Major, and it only has a piano and a viola/violin (I'm sure it's a viola more than it's a violin). It's a very simple, yet beautiful piece, like a lullaby: the piano plays arpeggios all throughout, in various forms of the F Major chord, and other chords in the key, and a low F is played occasionally throughout. In general, it's pretty slow, yet moving.

Is this ringing a bell in anyone's mind? Please let me know.

Where did you hear it?

Heard it at a Choreographer's Showcase on my campus yesterday (basically, a show where students who took a certain dance class present their final project to the public, which is their own choreographed dance). This piece was the music for someone's dance.

There's the "Spring Sonata" for Violin and Piano which is in F major. I think that's the only Violin Sonata in F Major. The only piece for Viola and Piano I'm aware of is the Notturno in D Major.

Neither is the correct piece. The Notturno has a similar sound to the piece I'm looking for, but that isn't it, either.

Thanks, anyway. Guess I gotta just look around a little harder.

Here's a short clip of the piece; I made it quickly in Sibelius. It may not be 100% accurate, but it's the gist of how the piece goes. Let me know if it sounds familiar, please.

Have you tried this?

Melodyhound: Search within the Music

Wow: I never knew about this website. It's ingenious. Thanks for the link. ^_^ I'll try it now.

It's great isn't it?! I particularly like the rhythm tapping feauture!! It's one of my favourite websites, well worth bookmarking.

Though it doesn't always work. I tried tapping the rhythm to the opening of Beethoven 5 to see if it'd recognise that and this is one of first suggestions it gave me:

ROTFLMAO :w00t::toothygrin:

so have u found the name of the piece yet?

Damn. He hasn't logged in for about two months. I would've liked to have known the piece he was looking for.

No more worries, the mystery is solved, I have found the piece through Melodyhound: Search within the Music

and it turns out that it's not even a beethoven piece, but Arvo P

That's it. It was used as the poignant soundtrack to the BBC documentary 'Auschwitz: The Nazis and 'The Final Solution''. It reminds me quite a lot of the arias from 'Songs of Sadness', but I can't for the life of me remember who wrote them.
