Excerpt
BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is widely considered to be one of the pre-eminent classical music figures of the Western world.

Except for a weakness in composing vocal and operatic music (to which he himself admitted, notwithstanding a few vocal works like the opera ?Fidelio? and the song ?Adelaide,?), Beethoven had complete mastery of the artform.
