Biography of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Beethoven was one of the most known classical composer of all time. He began his music studies at an early age and by the time he had reached young adulthood he had already established a reputation for himself as a young piano virtuoso. He had also, composed a number of very significant compositions. A few of his most known composition includes: Fur Elise, Moonlight sonata, Symphonies no. 9, etc.

Beethoven's life and works are generally divided into three periods. In the early period, until the first years of the 1800s, his music was still very much in the classical tradition of Haydn and Mozart even though Beethoven's original stamp was already very much in evidence. He wrote the six String Quartets Op.18, the first ten piano sonatas (through Op.14), the first three piano concertos, and the first two symphonies.
The middle years, until approximately 1815, are characterized by works of greater scope, increasing power and intensity. Symphonies Nos.3 to 8, the incidental music to Goethe's drama Egmont, the Coriolan overture, the opera Fidelio, the last two piano concertos,the Violin Concerto, the Quartets Opp.59 (the Rasumovsky), 74, and 95, and the Piano Sonatas through Op.90.
In the late period, Beethoven's works achieve even greater depth and complexity. Beethoven endured considerable emotional suffering in his personal life and could also be difficult and demanding. His loss of hearing, a condition that began in his early 30s, would have certainly contributed to his personal pain. His output was substantial. Among his important major works, 10 sonatas for violin and piano, 5 for cello and piano, and 32 solo piano sonatas. All are, without exception, magnificent works.
