Bagatelles
A bagatelle is a piece of music mostly for the piano and has a light, mellow character. The word bagatelle means "a short unpretentious instrumental composition". Although bagatelles are generally written for solo piano, they have also been written for piano four hands, harpsichord, harp, organ, classical guitar, vibraphone, unaccompaniedx oboe, clarinet, violin, viola, various chamber music configurations, orchestra, band, voice, piano, and an acappella choir. The earliest use of the name "bagatelle" for a musical work was by François Couperin, in his tenth harpsichord order (1717), in which a rondeau is titled "Les bagatelles.” You probably might not know this, but Für Elise is a bagatelle!
