Ludwig Van Beethoven

Romanticism Musician

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Germany 1770. He was deaf, yet he was very passionate for music. “I often produce three or four works at the same time.” His absorption in his music became total: “I live entirely in my music; and hardly have I completed one composition when I have already begun another.”

"Eroica”, one of Beethoven's pieces, was dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, who Beethoven viewed as the champion of the universal rights of liberty and justice.
