The name has inspired various creative works beyond the piano bench:
A late-romantic work for solo flute known for its chromatic language and requirement for sudden timbral changes.

A famous anecdote from his pupil Ferdinand Ries describes Beethoven being so "sunk in thought" that he could not hear the sound of a shepherd’s pipe nearby, a moment that deeply saddened the composer.
