Ludwig van Beethoven died on this day (March 26th) almost two centuries ago. His funeral attracted 18,000 mourners who treated him like a king.
Beethoven endured a life of excruciating pain and yet persevered. He chose to live for the opportunity to create music of sublime beauty. A music expert says, "Beethoven is the composer of the human soul. He is our composer."
Thanks for sharing this with us Ally, I knew a little about Beethoven but I never knew his funeral attracted that many mourners! That says a lot about him.
