| Ludwig van Beethoven by Josef Stieler |
My hero is Ludwig van Beethoven. He was a German composer. Beethoven was born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany, and he died during a storm in 1827 in Vienna, Austria. People respected him.
When he was 20 years old, he noticed signs of his deafness. Ludwig never stopped composing. I consider him my hero, because he composed one of his best-known masterpieces – the 9th Symphony – while he was totally deaf. He’s an example of what people can do, no matter the obstacles and the difficulties.
