Ludwig Van Beethovan

Ludwig's music teacher once commented: As a composer, he is hopeless. He then went on to become one of the greatest composers, composing some of his best pieces when he was complete deaf.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is one of the most significant and influential composers of the western art music tradition.

 

He was a ground-breaker, in all senses. He oversaw the transition of music from the Classical style, full of poise and balance, to the Romantic style, characterized by emotion and impact.
