Ludwig van Beethoven (12/17/1770 ~ 03/26/1827)
He was the greatest composers ever, rivalled only by Mozart. Today, two hundred years after his death, his divine symphonies, sonatas and string quartets are as timely as ever, still performed by orchestras all around the world.
Beethoven's most famous compositions are his symphonies, which include the 'Third Symphony' (the 'Eroica Symphony'), the 'Fifth Symphony' and the 'Sixth Symphony' (the 'Pastorale Symphony'). 'Ode to Joy', from his 'Ninth Symphony', was written at a time when the composer was totally deaf. He also composed a large body of piano music (the melancholic 'Moonlight Sonata' or the passionate 'Bagatelle in G Minor') and only one opera, 'Fidelio'.

I like that you've chose Ludwig. I am not a big fan of Classical music but I must admit that i really enjoyed his symphonies. My grandfather loved his music and teaches me how to listen, understand and enjoy his style!
ReplyDeleteGreat information JinHwa, but PLEASE use your own words and do not take them off the website. Maybe you could add a video from youtube here with some of his music.
