Ludwig van Beethoven
From the Series Classical Composers
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827), a German composer and pianist, bridged the Classical and Romantic eras.

Colorful illustrations plus photographs of meaningful sites and settings connect readers to important points in Beethoven’s history. A timeline and B Sharp sidebars add details to the composer’s life story.
