(English IPA: /ˈlʊdvɪg væn ˈbeɪtoʊvən/; German IPA: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn], December 16, 1770[1] -- March 26, 1827) was a German composer and virtuoso pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most respected and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne (now in modern-day Germany), he moved to Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose masterpieces, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf.

@berniesbargreece If you are an Englishman/ English woman, then you are an Anglo-Saxon.Since the Anglo-Saxons migrated from Germany, you are of Germanic descent. i.e. a proud German!

@RimsterVision Being proud of something that you weren't a part of doesn't make any sense. If you achieve a certain goal yourself (or together with others), like finishing a project, you can be proud of the outcome, because you're the one who influenced it.
However, nobody got to choose whether he wants to be born as a human or an animal, which is why it's illogical to be proud of the outcome.
