Inspiring Person

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Ludwig van Beethoven ( baptised 17 December 1770 [1]  – 26 March 1827) was a German  composer  and  pianist . A crucial figure in the transition between the  Classical  and  Romantic  eras in  Classical music , he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. His best-known compositions include 9  symphonies , 5  piano concertos , 1  violin concerto , 32  piano sonatas , 16  string quartets , his great  Mass  the  Missa solemnis , and one  opera ,  Fidelio . Beethoven was bedridden for most of his remaining months, and many friends came to visit. He died on 26 March 1827 at the age of 56 during a thunderstorm. His friend  Anselm Hüttenbrenner , who was present at the time, said that there was a peal of thunder at the moment of death. An  autopsy  revealed significant  liver  damage, which may have been due to heavy alcohol consumption.  It also revealed considerable dilation of the auditory and other related nerves.
