Born in Bonn in 1770
Born in Bonn in 1770, Ludwig van Beethoven bridged the Classical and Romantic eras, expanding the emotional and structural boundaries of music itself. Composing through progressive deafness, he produced the Ninth Symphony, the Moonlight and Appassionata sonatas, and the Eroica, a work that fundamentally redefined the symphony's scale and ambition. His influence on every subsequent composer remains incalculable.
