A few words about Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), was a German composer and pianist. Considered one of the greatest composers in classical music and was a prominent figure in the period between the classical and romantic periods. His name and genius inspired generations of musicians. In his late twenties he began to lose his hearing, a loss that can severely impair the functioning of people in general, and was considered particularly shameful for his contemporaries. However, Beethoven continued to produce masterpieces even after his deafness became total.
