The great man of the early Romantic period of classical music was Ludwig Van Beethoven. Beethovens life changed the period from the late eighteenth century which was a time of political and social revolution (改革) in the Western World. Beethoven was the symbol of the modern artist. He felt himself the best, and this belief (信念) was shown in his music.
Beethoven was born of Flemish descent in Bonn, Germany on December 16 or 17, 1770. His mother was a cook and his father was a musician who was often drunk.
