Ludwig van Beethoven:
(Bonn, 15, 16 or 17 December[1] 1770 – Vienna, 26 March 1827).
German composer, musician, virtuoso and conductor.
His style in his early period is directly in line with that of Mozart and Haydn, with whom he is considered part of the First Viennese School.
He brought classicism to completion and, in his late period, introduced romanticism. He is counted among the most influential composers. His oeuvre had a dominant influence on nineteenth-century music.

Those who lie do not have a pure heart and cannot cook good soup.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
