This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist, widely considered one of the greatest and most influential figures in Western classical music. Born in Bonn, he showed prodigious musical talent from a young age and moved to Vienna to study under composers like Joseph Haydn.
Beethoven's career is typically divided into three periods:
A defining aspect of his life was his progressive hearing loss, which began in his late 20s and led to near-total deafness. Despite this, he continued to compose groundbreaking music, pushing the boundaries of form and expression.
Beethoven's legacy endures as a symbol of artistic genius, resilience, and the transformative power of music.
