 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.

 Beethoven: The Man and the Artist - Ludvig van Beethoven - Adobe Reader eBooks
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.
Many of his works are ingeniously imaginative and innovative, such as his 3rd symphony (the "Eroica"), his 9th Violin Sonata (the "Kreutzer"), his "Waldstein" piano sonata, his 4th and 5th piano concertos, or his "Grosse Fugue" for string quartet.

 Ludvig Van Beethoven
Where Ludwig Van Beethoven is concerned, I am at a loss for words, his music has done more than just inspire me. In some of my darkest hours it has comforted me, the first music Christopher Robin ever heard was Beethoven, so during my happiest moments it is there also.
As horrible as his deafness was, Beethoven was able to create wondrous music before and after his affliction.In later years, his ears were undefiled by the ugly sounds of petty thoughts, jealousies and lies most people in societies tend to find so attractive.
Instead, Beethoven's music becomes my solitude; there is nothing more than the Moonlight or the Appassionata and alone, I am content.

Some of Beethoven's piano works offer exciting opportunities for new arrangements on different combinations of instruments.
The colours of the new world instruments give a different colour and emphasis to the music and this is highlighted in the Turkish March where Hammond organ, Harp and Bells are added to the instrumentation.
