	Ludwig van Beethoven Biography
		The few works that date from this period are often of an experimental character, including the song cycle "An die ferne Geliebte" and the piano sonata Opus 90: these works served as inspirations to the later generation of Romantic composers.
		Beethoven continued to expand the "development" section of works, whereas in the early works of Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven's major immediate predecessors and influences, the development section of a sonata form was quite brief (though over time they enlarged it).
		Although Beethoven wrote many beautiful and lyrical melodies, another radical innovation of his music, compared especially to that of Mozart and Haydn, is his extensive use of forceful, marked, and even stark rhythmic patterns throughout his compositions and, in particular, in his themes and motifs, some of which are primarily rhythmic rather than melodic.

		Beethoven was born in Bonn in the archbishopric of Cologne in northwest Germany, to Johann van Beethoven (1740-92), a court musician and alcoholic, and Magdalena Keverich van Beethoven (1744-87).
		Beethoven's health had been bad for most of his life, worsening even as he composed these last works; in his last months he became seriously ill. He died on March 26th, 1827, after several operations to relieve abdominal swelling, and a subsequent infection.
		Above all, his works distinguish themselves from those of any prior composer through his creation of large, extended architectonic structures characterized by the extensive development of musical material, themes, and motifs, usually by means of "modulation", that is, a change in the feeling of the home key, through a variety of keys or harmonic regions.

		The Late works are greatly admired for and characterized by their intellectual depth, intense and highly personal expression, and experimentation with forms (for example, the Quartet in C Sharp Minor has seven movements, while most famously his Ninth Symphony adds choral forces to the orchestra in the last movement).
		Beethoven died on 26 March 1827, after a long illness, in the midst of a fierce thunderstorm, and legend has it that the dying man shook his fists in defiance of the heavens.
		Beethoven, though living in Vienna, had adopted a much heavier style of playing than most of his contemporaries, and although he was not the only pianist of the time to lobby for a heavier instrument, he was the only one whose musical genius had become synonymous with the artistic culture of Vienna.

		This did not prevent the young Beethoven from developing an intense love of music, but dominating, all-consuming love also rendered exceedingly difficult his friendships, his love affairs and even his everyday dealings with the outside world.
		Beethoven spent most of his active life in and near Vienna, where he was an eccentric although much respected and far from unloved figure, and he died there on 26 March 1827.

		Beethoven was especially in my childhood my greatest hero, idol even, and I loved his music like none other, and indeed for many years as a child I refused to listen to any music other than his, because I just didn't believe anyone else could even touch Beethoven.
		Beethoven's orchestra is normally constituted as follows: 2 each of Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, and Trumpet; 2 Timpani (1 player), and Strings (1st and 2nd Violins, Violas, Cellos, and Double Basses, numbers not specified in the scores).
		The list of Beethoven's compositions is very obviously not only incomplete, but in an extremely early stage of preparation; it is nothing more than a list of the very well-known compositions such as the Piano Sonatas, Symphonies, and the like.

		The early works, influenced by the tradition of Mozart and Haydn, include the First and Second Symphonies, the first three piano concertos, and a number of piano sonatas, including the “Pathétique.” From 1802, his work broke the formal conventions of classical music.
		Beethoven’s final period, dating from about 1816, is characterized by works of greater depth, including the Hammerklavier Sonata; the monumental Ninth Symphony, with its choral finale based on Schiller’s "Ode to Joy"; the Missa Solemnis; and the last five string quartets.

		In the compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven, C minor is commonly regarded as a special key: works by Beethoven in this key are felt to be powerful and emotionally stormy.
		Here is a list of works by Beethoven in C minor that are felt to be characteristic of how Beethoven used this key; it is taken largely from Grove's book.
		The works by Beethoven in C minor hardly exhaust the set of emotionally stormy minor-key works by this composer; some useful comparisons would include the pianos sonatas Opus 2, no. 1 and Opus 57 (both in F minor), or the Ninth Symphony (in D minor).

	Ludwig van Beethoven
		For Beethoven, the act of composition had always been a struggle, as the tortuous scrawls of his sketchbooks show; in these late works the sense of agonizing effort is a part of the music.
		Musical taste in Vienna had changed during the first decades of the 19th century; the public were chiefly interested in light Italian opera (especially Rossini) and easygoing chamber music and songs, to suit the prevalent bourgeois taste.
		Yet the Viennese were conscious of Beethoven's greatness: they applauded the Choral Symphony even though, understandably, they found it difficuit, and though baffled by the late quartets they sensed their extraordinary visionary qualities.

		Listening to Beethoven's music also another scholar analysis is possible: there is definitely an evolution in ''style'' from Beethoven's earliest compositions to his later works.
		The young Beethoven can be seen toiling to conform to the esthetic models of his contemporaries: he wants to write music that is acceptable in the society of his days.
		Yet, after that Beethoven still wrote his very "classical" 8th symphony, and some innocent-sounding chamber music for the English market - but by the end of the first decade of the 19th century Beethoven ''the romantic'' was doubtlessly on top.
