Ludwig can Beethoven was born around December 15,1770.  The actual date remains unknown.  Ludwig was also the oldest child in the family.  It has been said that Ludwig didn't have a very happy childhood and got worse when his father began drinking.  At age eight, Ludwig began taking lessons from C.G. Neefe.  Ludwig's experience and knowledge of many things is all thanks to this teacher, C. G. Neefe.  Ludwig  created some of the world's best music ever.  Even deaf, he could do this.  Beethoven came off as a mean person to many, yet he was a very kind man who cared greatly for music.  He would do anything for music.

 

 

Beethoven's music was new to everyone who had heard it.  In 1803, he composed Third Symphony, Eroica.  Just two years later he completes Fidelio.  The Razumovshy Sting quartets were composed in 1806.  in 1808, Beethoven composes both the Fifth and Sixth Symphony.  Beethoven completed Mass in D in 1823,  Just one year later, he completed the Ninth Symphony.  Beethoven makes his last composition, String quartet in F, op. 135, in 1826.

As you can see, Beethoven although deaf, composed some of the best music of all time.  

 

It was on March 26, 1827 when Ludwig van Beethoven died.
