What is the name of the Beethoven masterpiece commonly known as The i th?
I'm guessing you are referring to the masterpiece called the 9th. This is Beethoven's 9th symphony in d minor, opus 125, also referred to sometimes as the "Glorious Ninth". It was the last symphony Beethoven completed. It is well known for several reasons, but mostly for a melody called 'Ode to Joy.' This melody is part of the 4th movement. The other reason this is considered a masterpiece is because Beethoven used a chorus and soloists in the last movement. Until this time symphonies were considered instrumental pieces, not vocal music. It is considered one of the great precursors to the Romantic Era in music because of its innovative approach to writing symphonically.

The music of the romantic era is typically?
The Romantic Period was from 1820 to 1900. The main characteristics of Romantic music are a wide dynamic range, a high level of emotional expression, lyrical melodies, lots of rubato (freedom in the time), the introduction of free forms (such as nocturnes and fantasies) and dance forms (such as waltzes and mazurkas) which generally replaced sonata form. Pieces started to have descriptive titles and moods, (e.g. Autumn Song) which influenced the way they were interpreted by performers. Music sometimes also had sudden, dramatic contrasts and mood changes, especially in Beethoven's works (although he was on the border between Classical and Romantic).

Johann Beethoven and Maria Magdalena van Beethoven were the parents of the great Classical-Romantic composer, Ludwig van Beethoven.
No, he was not, and this is a good question. Many believe the myth that he was always deaf. He could never have learned music if that had been the case. He was already a famous concert pianist and composer before the deafness started, and it was a source of intense anguish for him.
