Born into a family of musicians, Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music. His works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire which span the transition from the classical period to the romantic era in classical music.
Deaf for several years in the rest of his life, Beethoven passed away in March 26, 1827.
