Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Born in Bonn in 1770, Ludwig Van Beethoven was only eleven years old when he was named harpsichordist and violinist for the court orchestra. The prediction by one of his teachers that Beethoven would become the"second Mozart" turned out to have little relevance, for he became the one and only Beethoven. While enjoying many of his compositions, we will focus on Symphonies No. 5 and 9.
