Ludwig van Beethoven,
(baptized December 17, 1770, Bonn, archbishopric of Cologne
[Germany]—died March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria), German composer, the
predominant musical figure in the transitional period between the
Classical and Romantic eras.
Beethoven was a German pianist and composer widely considered to be one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. His innovative compositions combined vocals and instruments, widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet.
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.
Although he wasn't wealthy, he had a steady income from his commissions, benefit concerts and teaching as well as supplements from some of his noble admirers. He certainly wasn't a pauper in the same manner as Mozart.
He studied with Mozart's teacher — Franz Joseph Haydn. ...Beethoven was popular with the rich and important people in Vienna, Austria, where he lived. In 1801, however, he began to lose his hearing. His deafness became worse. By 1817, he was completely deaf.
The exact cause of his hearing loss is unknown. Theories range from syphilis to lead poisoning, typhus, or possibly even his habit of plunging his head into cold water to keep himself awake. At one point he claimed he had suffered a fit of rage in 1798 when someone interrupted him at work.
Beethoven composed in all the main genres of classical music, including symphonies, concertos, string quartets, piano sonatas and one opera. His works range from requiring a solo performer to needing a large orchestra and chorus to perform.
. Beethoven's ninth and final symphony, completed in 1824, remains the illustrious composer's most towering achievement. The symphony's famous choral finale, with four vocal soloists and a chorus singing the words of Friedrich Schiller's poem "Ode to Joy," is perhaps the most famous piece of music in history.
Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna, during a heavy thunderstorm. ... The official cause of death was liver failure.
