Why do so many pieces of classical music have only a technical name (Sonata #5, Concerto 2 in A minor, symphony #4, etc.) instead of a “name” like Fuhr Elise or Eine Kline Nachtmusik?

Question

I can only speak for myself, but this makes it really hard to keep track of the songs I like. I love listening to classical music but if you asked me my favorite artists I would have difficulty telling you specifics.

Just a little heads up: “Für Elise” means “for Elise” (if you don’t have an ü key, u can write ue instead), “fuhr Elise” means “Elise drove”. And it’s “kleine” prunounced kline-eh.
