Beethoven: Violin Concerto; Romances - Gidon Kremer The Chamber Orchestra Of Europe Nikolaus Harnoncourt / Teldec Audio CD 1993 / 9031-74881-2 UPC 090317488127 Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music. His career has conventionally been divided into early middle and late periods. His early period during which he forged his craft is typically considered to have lasted until 1802. From 1802 to around 1812 his middle period showed an individual development from the styles of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and is sometimes characterized as heroic. During this time he began to grow increasingly deaf. In his late period from 1812 to 1827 he extended his innovations in musical form and expression.
