It's interesting that the piece that immediately came to mind for me is not mentioned here: his "Moonlight Sonata" [1]. I think this was also an immense risk at the time. The risk payed off grandly. Moonlight Sonata could easily be a soundtrack for a 2020 movie (if everyone hadn't already known it). It says on Wikipedia that the piece was popular already at the time, so maybe it was not such a big risk, but I have to say it sounds like (or maybe it inspired) contemporary piano music.
