Oilpainting Portrait by NOLLE
Ludwig van Beethoven (IPA: [English ˈlʊdvɪg væn ˈbeɪt.həʊvən; German ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːt.hoːfn]), (baptized December 17, 1770[1] -- March 26, 1827) was a German composer and one of the pillars of European classical music.

He is esteemed as one of the greatest composers in the history of music, and was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music. His music and his reputation inspired — and in many cases intimidated — ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and audiences.[2]

While primarily known today as a composer, Beethoven was also a celebrated pianist. Born in Bonn, 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. Despite gradual hearing loss beginning in his twenties, Beethoven continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his life, even when he was totally deaf. Beethoven was also one of the first composers to work freelance — arranging subscription concerts, selling his compositions to publishers, and gaining financial support from a number of wealthy patrons — rather than seek out permanent employment by the church or by an aristocratic court.

  • I like it !!!!

  • i love how u paint

  • I like how you use cds as a pallet. I use vinyl records, I take a lighter and heat one spot near the edge until it gets shiny or bubbles, then I take a large marker or cylindrical object and push through the melted spot, when it cools I just cut the protrusion and I get a perfect thumb hole. You should give it a try if you find that cds are too small for your needs.
