Probably the Busch Quartet recording from the 50s. You can find it in EMI's Great Recording of the Century series
Beethoven's major repertoire is piano music, followed by string quartets and symphonies. His symphonies, however, are probably his best-known works.
Words to describe Beethoven's temperament:volatilepassionateerratic
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer. He continued to compose music even after he began losing his power to hear when he was 28 years old. Beethoven's Fifth and his Ninth Symphony are two of the best known compositions. He first performed at the age of seven. Beethoven went deaf at an early age. It is said that he cut the legs off a piano so he could feel the vibrations of the music so that he could still conduct music. This, however, is not as dramatic as it sounds: many early pianos were made with removable legs so they could be moved between the courts where the musicians played. Beethoven is generally regarded as the composer who bridged the transition between the Classical and Romantic Eras in music. It was Beethoven's introduction of expressive and passionate dynamics that introduced the Romantic Era.
The viola is the best instrument in the world....okay I'm biased because I play one!! The viola is basically the chord filler. It fits the harmony in. In string quartets it can play with the violins or the cello. It also closes the gap between violin and cello so that the sound is complete.
Probably the best one you will find is in a booklet accompanying a recording that you can purchase OR go into a large music store and search for one. There are several biographies written about Beethoven; one in particlular is by Maynard Sollimon, so try a library.Answer #2Heinrich Schenker analyzed Beethoven's Sonatas and the pianist Andras Schiff gave a wonderful lecture series on the 32 Beethoven Sonatas.

Yes It is called, 'Beethoven'. But it has nothing to with Ludwig van Beethoven

The best soundcard for recording guitar is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
Haydn, in my opinion, was the best classical composer that ever lived (no offence, Mozart). Besides inventiong the modern string quartet and single-handedly changing the world of symphonies, he had amazing works. His 94th symphony 'The Surprise' is a must, the 2nd movement in it is absolutely wonderful. His string quartet Op 33 No. 3 'The Joke' is one of the best string quartets. His piano sonata No. 50 in C Major is also highly recommended, and so are all of his concertos, the best of which are the trumpet concerto in E-flat Major and his Piano Concerto No. 11 in D major (Both are the top of the concerti repertuar if you ask me). When you look up a haydn recording, try to find the brightest one, for that is how haydn should be played.

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.
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His father, who was a singer, was his first teacher. After a while, even though he was still only a boy, Ludwig became a traveling performer, and soon, he was supporting his family. In his early twenties, Beethoven moved to Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life. Beethoven was one of the first composers to make a living without being employed by the church or a member of the nobility. At first, he was known as a brilliant pianist. But when he was around 30 years old, Beethoven started going deaf. Even though he could no longer hear well enough to play the piano, Beethoven composed some of his best music after he was deaf! Beethoven is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. He may be most famous for his nine symphonies, but he also wrote many other kinds of music: chamber and choral music, piano music and string quartets, and an opera.
