Ludwig van Beethoven is a German composer from Little Einsteins who wrote in the late Classical and early Romantic Periods. Born in Bonn, he learned music at a young age and became a piano prodigy. His first teacher was his abusive father then he switched over to the court organist. In 1792, he moved to Vienna to study under the famous Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn whose music is not in Little Einsteins. His early days he was a virtuoso pianist wowing the aristocrats of Europe but things took a turn for the worst in 1800 as he started to go deaf and as a result of the deafness and the changing society around him he felt that music needed to see a change and focus more on the human rather than entertainment. Works such as the Moonlight Sonata, the 3rd and 5th symphonies, and Fur Elise were the most famous works from this time. By 1820, he was completely deaf and got angrier towards people although this decade was his most productive as he wrote the Ninth Symphony in 1824. Beethoven died in 1827 at age 56.
