His Symphony no. 5 of course! Almost everyone has heard of it before, albeit the first eight notes only...
His music
Beethoven's life has ended but the melodies linger on.
Awards tend to be a modern invention. In Beethoven's time, creative people who composed or wrote great works were not given awards; their work was merely appreciated. Sometimes they were honoured by the kings and queens, but they were not given awards.
Beethoven only composed very few pieces in a "classical tone", primarily his first symphony. He was taught by Haydn, a classical composer, so it would make sense for Beethoven to start off by composing a classical piece. Later on in his life though, he composed very Romantic style music. His second symphony, Eroica, was a key example of the romantic era.
It fell in and out of public opinion throughout his life, but he was generally respected and payed handsomely by the nobility.
Beethoven began composing during the latter part of the Classical period, and he provided the transition into the early phase of the Romantic period.
Ludwig van Beethoven likely considered Stephan von Breuning to be his best friend. Though Beethoven was known to mistreat Stephan on more than one occasion, Stephan was a loyal friend to him throughout his life.
that he become a famous piano player although he was deaf
Ludwig van Beethoven, the German musician is one of the most famous composers of history. At the age of 26 he started showing signs of hearing-loss, that started with a form of tinnitus, a condition that forced him to use several kinds of hearing aids throughout his life.
Beethoven was bedridden in his home the last several months of his life.
No. This is an artistic fabrication by the director of the movie. It is in fact true that Ludwig van Beethoven had many various people in his life to help him throughout his career, but many if not all are unidentified.
Mozart lived in several cities throughout his life, including Salzburg and Vienna in Austria. He spent the majority of his career in Vienna, where he composed many of his famous works.
