DESCRIPTION
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN SOME IMPORTANT FACTS: – One of the most influential composers of all time – Born in 1770 and died in 1827 – A transitionary figure – he was key in moving music from the Classical period – with strict form and function – to the Romantic period – which “broke rules” and emphasised emotional connections to music – Featured on a golden record, sent into space on the Voyager probe for aliens to find – Went profoundly deaf later in life – Most people consider his compositions later in life to be his best … which were also those he would never hear
