Ludwig van Beethoven (17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in music and remains one of the most recognized and influential composers of all time. His life was troubled by his encroaching loss of hearing and chronic abdominal pain since his twenties. He died at the age of 56 during a thunderstorm.
