Webinar - The Illnesses and Death of Ludwig Van Beethoven

The composer Ludwig Van Beethoven had a profound effect on the history of classical music, redefining our notions of symphony, string quartet, and piano sonata,  and also our conception of the artist as a hero. But he was also a person who lived with illness and disability.  Beethoven’s medical history has remained a source of fascination and debate since his death in 1827. In this presentation, we review what is known about his medical history with an emphasis on his final illness.
