Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)Ludwig van Beethoven (December 16, 1770 - March 26, 1827) was a German composer and virtuoso pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most respected and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to Vienna, Austria in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose masterpieces and to conduct and perform even after he was completely deaf. He died on March 26, 1827.

I love to share the classics with my children...right now my speakers are dead and we can't listen to any of the pieces...not fun! lol!! Recently, we've been listening to George Bizet's Carmen...La Habenera is my favorite!

Few youngsters nowadays appreciate classical music. But they are there for all times so that people will enjoy them. Thanks for the visit and comments. God bless.
I am a fan of him ever since I was a very small kid,ever since I first heard Fur Elise.
