Best Answer

Beethoven had numerous patrons during his composing career. Two of his more significant patrons were Count Waldstein (1762-1823) and Archduke Rudolph (1788-1831).

Waldstein's full title was Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein. Waldstein was the one who organised a scholarship for the young Beethoven to study under composer Joseph Haydn.

The Austrian Archduke Rudolph was the youngest son of Emperor Leopold II, and he was actually Beethoven's own student of composition. Many of Beethoven's greatest works, such as his 4th and 5th piano concertos, were dedicated to the Archduke.
