Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany on December 17, 1770. He wrote music during the romantic and classical period. He started to go deaf at age 31 and completely went deaf by the age of 45. Some of his famous works we will be learning about in class include: 5th Symphony, Ode to Joy (9th Symphony), Fur Elise, and Moonlight Sonata. In class we read the amazing Beethoven's Wig, written by Richard Purlmutter, which is written to the tune of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Here is the link to watch the video at home! We also talked about how 5th Symphony is in a Meter of 2.
