Ludwig van Beethoven (December 17, 1770-March 26, 1827) was a German composer, virtuoso pianist and conductor, and a violinist. Trained in the traditional music methods by his father, (Johann van Beethoven), Ludwig van Beethoven was an accomplished pianist by the age of 12.

Studying under Christian Gottlob Neefe (a German opera composer and conductor) and the infamous Joseph Haydn (who compared him to the great Mozart), Beethoven is best known for producing music that expresses heroism and struggle, contains intense personal expression, and explores new directions. supported himself by working as a freelance composer

Around age 26, Beethoven began to lose his hearing but threw himself even more deeply into his music, composing "Fur Elise," "Sonata Pathetique" and the dramatic "Fifth Symphony." He was also one of the first composers to work as a freelancer—arranging subscription concerts and selling his compositions to publishers.
