Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer portrayed in this sculpture, was born on December 17, 1770 in Bonn and died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna. He is known all over the world for famous compositions such as “Egmont” or “Fidelio”. Ludwig van Beethoven was not only a representative of the Viennese Classicism, but he also is said to have set the stage for Romanticism. Due to his deafness, Ludwig van Beethoven narrowed the number of his compositions down in his later years, but the disease nevertheless was not able to completely break him and prevent him from composing. Over 650 compositions are attributed to him.
