Ludwig van Beethoven  

Definition

  • German composer Few artists have so fascinated their own and future generations to the degree that Beethoven has. As a figure of legend, he is equalled among his contemporaries only by Napoleon (1762–1821), whose early triumphs as a revolutionary leader inspired Beethoven and many other artists of the time.
