Ludwig van Beethoven ranks to be the most frequently played classical composer and pioneer of Romantic music. He was born in Bonn in 1770 – being baptised on the 17th December the same year. Being not older than seven, Beethoven already performed in public for the first time and soon afterwards made a name of himself being a piano virtuoso. His relocation from Bonn to Vienna led Beethoven to Joseph Haydn, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and Antonio Salieri. Due to difficulties hearing which, in the course of time, had even led to deafness, Beethoven focused more and more on composing. Thereby, he strived for every single note and had to rework and improve his works over and over again. From all his accomplishments, his nine symphonies stand out the most.
