Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven was born December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany. He became one of the world's most important and influential composers. He died in Vienna, Austria, March 26, 1827. There is so much information about Beethoven and I encourage you to enjoy studying about his life and music. Below you will find a three-part film biography that is well worth watching (and only about an hour total), a list of links where you can find additional information, and, of course, video recordings of his music being performed.
