Ludwig van BeethovenClassical PeriodComposers
(1770-1827) Unlike Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven was not considered to be a child prodigy.
He was twenty-two years old when he first began to make an impression on
the Viennese public as a virtuoso pianist. After the age of thirty,
Beethoven became progressively deaf and was no longer able to perform.
Beethoven's music seemed to reflect his personality -- chaotic and powerful.
His chief works include numerous piano sonatas, string quartets, an opera,
a mass, as well as nine symphonies. Symphony No. 5 is probably his
most famous work.
Sample Works:
"Moonlight Sonata"
Symphony No. 5, 1st mvmt
