Celebrating a few days late, Beethoven's 250th anniversary. He was probably born 16th, but definitely baptised 17th Dec, 1770.
"Over a 45-year career, Beethoven wrote more than 700 works, including nine symphonies, 32 piano sonatas and one opera. Amazingly, Beethoven continued composing even though, in his late 20s, he began losing his hearing. The ringing in his ears became so painful that he stuffed them with cotton and avoided going out in public."
