Was Beethoven best known for composing beautiful music?

I suppose was mostly famous for his nine symphonies - they are regarded as masterpieces and the ninth symphony widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces of classical muic ever written. In addition to these, Ludwig van Beethoven was a master to everything he turned his hands to. He wrote string quartets, regarded as masterpieces, he wrote over 30 piano sonatas that are considered masterpieces, he wrote concertos - that are considered masterpieces - the list goes on. he wrote many other orchestral and instrumental works and several choral works (like his great Mass in C) that are all considered masterpieces. He wrote just one oratorio 'Christ on the Mount of Olives' and one opera 'Fidelio' and, although not in the first division of opera and oratorio masterpieces, are major works nevertheless. Because of his all-round genius, Beethoven ranks with Mozart and Bach as one of the greatest composers that has ever lived - and in terms of the most influential, both on other composers and on the development of classical music, he is head and shoulders the most influential composer that has ever lived. And lets not forget that for most of his composing life, Beethoven was totally, stone deaf, hearing his music only within his own mind.

Who listened to and played Mozart's music?

Well personally I think that question is a bit offensive to many people. A lot of people listened to the masterpieces created by Beethoven . In his time he was an intelligent and talented individual and the age range ( audience) would have been of all ages . But now many of us youngsters love R&B and HipHop music so the age range would probably be older people and youngsters who like the classic idea of music (: Hope you found this helpful !

What is an accurate description German opera during the Romantic period?

Given the first German opera was Dafne, composed by Heinrich Schütz in 1627 [now lost], the time span and style is huge. The best possible way to obtain a good description would be to narrow it down to a single opera and look that one up. However, even that would not cover everything because, as with any countries opera, each one usually has major differences. There really cannot be a general description to fit all.

Kind of...

In Boston, Stravinsky conducted a performance of his arrangement of the American National Anthem, which he dedicated to the American people and allowed to be used freely. Stravinsky's unconventional stylistic tendencies resulted in an arrangement which didn't sit well with the state of Massachusetts, whose government had a law against the tampering of national property.
