You can hear the piece in question on the last video in this page:
http://web.mac.com/chathammedia/edwardgorey/Videos.htmlThe video is provied with following info: "Pianist Justin McCarthy recorded the first piano track (Beethoven) for our upcoming documentary soundtrack, featuring music used by Edward Gorey in his theatrical productions. Recorded at 7A West Studios Charlestown, MA."
Sorry for this kind of question. But my sister who is very interested in Edward Gorey (she is herself a visual artist, too) asked me and I cannot identify the piece. Also, I'm a bit surprised that this piece is by Beethoven, To me it doesn't sound like Beethoven at all...
By the way I have a card box with illustrations by Gorey (

too dark...
