Beethoven: The Bridge Between Two Worlds in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
By the time Beethoven premiered his Ninth Symphony, he was completely deaf. Unable to hear the applause, he had to be turned around onstage to see the audience cheering. It was a powerful moment—one that perfectly captured his role as a composer who transcended personal limitation and musical tradition alike.
