Beethoven
Ludwig Van Beethoven was born on December 16, 1770. Five of his brothers and sisters all had passed away and only two others lived . While growing up as a child his family was very poor . He began training in music lessons at about age four. He both loved and hated taking his piano lessons. When he was only a child Ludwig could play any music that was put in front of him. His Father encouraged him to play all the instruments, but piano interested him most. He started noticing his hearing problems when he was about a teenager. He composed many songs in his life. Ludwig is known around the world as one of the finest composers who ever lived. Just like Beethoven there were other composers who riveted the world with their music.
