There is probably very little in terms of both life and works of Beethoven that I am not aware of. To me, he is one of the greatest musicians along with Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Wagner and Stravinsky to name a few that have graced the pantheon of Western Classical Music and ridden like a colossus. Beethoven is special, as his music was probably the most significant turning point in the history of W.Classical music. He not only unleashed passion, but actually liberated music from the shackles it was getting tied in and the Drama that it is capable of. If I were to write in detail about him, it would become a huge book, so I stop here. Anyone who wishes to discuss anything about this hero of mine is welcome to write to me. Salt

That he was a musical genius who sadly went deaf early in his career. He had troubles with love and marriage and was abused by his father as a child. He was somewhat eccentric and not very well liked.

I know a few about the beeyhoven's life, and about him music, The great sinfonies, how the 5° and the 9° sinfonies, are unforggetable. And we need always remind of Ode To Joy, that nowadays is the European hymn.

Beethoven is a great musician.He composed many classical musics and is a favourite to everyone!!His songs are very relaxing and fun to listen.He makes everyone,young or old happy!The first time i heard his songs it made me want to hear it again and again and from then on i have been'addicted' to it!He came from a not so good background but later on he showed his intrest in music.And from then on he started to like it and composed songs.
