December 16, 1770 - March 26, 1827

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His father, who was a singer, was his first teacher. After a while, even though he was still only a boy, Ludwig became a traveling performer, and soon, he was supporting his family. 

At first, he was known as a brilliant pianist. But when he was around 30 years old, Beethoven started going deaf. Even though he could no longer hear well enough to play the piano, Beethoven composed some of his best music after he was deaf! 

Beethoven is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. 

He also wrote many other kinds of music: chamber and choral music, piano music and string quartets, and an opera.

Beethoven first publicly performed at the age of 8.

His work also had a major impact on the development of atomic energy. In his later years, Einstein focused on unified field theory. With his passion for inquiry, Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century.
