Undisputed genius: Ludwig van Beethoven is considered one of the most important composers of all time, who brought the Viennese Classical school to its height while paving the way for Romanticism. He created countless masterpieces of breathtaking boldness, poignant beauty and profound expression, music of timeless validity that even today has a direct effect on anyone who encounters it.
