About the Author
Because Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) has long been burdened with the epithet "the greatest composer who ever lived," it's easy to overlook how remarkably engaging his music is. Many of his pieces, including Moonlight Sonata and Ode to Joy are instantly recognisable to the most casual listener. His compositions transformed the classical style into expressions of revolutionary, heroic idealism and introduced radical innovations whose influence is still felt today. › Improvements to make?
