Description:

Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers in history. He was born in Germany, into a very musical family in the late eighteenth century. While still a young boy, he began his life as a musician. His youthful genius amazed his listeners. But at the height of his career, he had a terrible secret. He was losing his hearing because of an incurable illness. He struggled against his illness for the rest of his life, hiding it from his friends and refusing to give up the world of music. Instead, he used his suffering to inspire his compositions. In spite of his deafness, Beethoven created some of the most beautiful music the world has ever known.
