When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. – Ludwig Von Beethoven (9)

I began writing music at a young age, and eventually taking care of my family before my mother passed away. Late in life, I lost my hearing. I wrote 9 symphonies during my lifetime, numbers 5 and 9 being the most recognizable. (1);(2)

Ludwig Van Beethoven (1) > Notes

Title: Symphony No. 9

Date: 1824 (6) (2)

Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best-known works of the Western classical repertoire. Among critics, it is universally considered to be among Beethoven's greatest works, and is considered by some to be the greatest piece of music ever written. It is also known by the most famous movement, “Ode to Joy” (6)

Title: Beethoven Lives Upstairs (7)

Date: Produced in 1992 (7) (14)

Young Christoph is convinced his mother has rented out the upstairs room to a madman. That boarder is Ludwig Van Beethoven who is busy composing his Ninth Symphony, one of his greatest works. The boy and the cantankerously eccentric deaf composer eventually meet and Christoph begins to see the softer side of Beethoven as his music begins to win the boy over. (8)
