Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven

He is my hero because he was a perseverant man with projects and purposes in his life like all good man. First he tried to establish himself as pianist and composer.

"Until 1813 Beethoven composed in a great variety of genres, including symphonies, concerti, piano, sonatas, other sonatas (including for violin), string quartets and other chamber music, masses, an opera, lieder, and various other genres. He is viewed as one of the most important transitional figures between the Classical and Romantic eras of musical history.

Beethoven most recognized and original music can be grouped in 4 types:

1.The sonata-form movement of titanic and elemental struggle
2.The scherzo, of tumultuous, headlong humor and intoxicating energy
3. The ethereal, slow movement of mystic glorification
4. The expansion and weight given to the 'symphonic' finale

Beethoven developed and enhanced the high classical style into a more dynamic and individualist style."

He is my hero because I like his music that is different style of music. His music is described as less dramatic and more introverted, but I would also like to add more mature and secure. I started hearing classical music because my father has a collection of classical music and my favorite selection is from Beethoven.

With his music I can relax in bad and sad moments and I recommend the people to hear classical and original music.
