Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most famous classical composers. For many people, he and Mozart are essentially the symbols of classical music. But for many, their acquaintance with the composer does not go beyond the beginning of the fifth symphony, For Elise and the Moonlight Sonata. Meanwhile, Beethoven is not just one of the composers who, due to some random factors, gained such fame.
