Ludwig van Beethoven (IPA: ), (baptized December 17, 1770 � March 26, 1827) was a German composer. He is generally regarded as one of the great composers in the history of music, and was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music. His music and his reputation inspired � and in many cases intimidated � ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and audiences. While primarily known today as a composer, Beethoven was also a celebrated pianist. Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. In his late twenties, he began to lose his hearing gradually, and yet he continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his life, even when his deafness was almost total. Beethoven was also one of the first composers to work freelance � arranging subscription concerts, selling his compositions to publishers, and gaining financial support from a number of wealthy patrons � rather than seek out permanent employment by the church or by an aristocratic court.
