路德維希•凡•貝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven,1770-1827）,德國最偉大的音樂家之一.祖籍荷蘭（亦說波蘭）,出生于德國波恩的平民家庭,很早就顯露了音樂才能,八歲開始登臺演出.1792年到維也納深造,藝術上進步飛快.貝多芬信仰共和,崇尚英雄,創(chuàng)作了有大量充滿時代氣息的優(yōu)秀作品,如：交響曲《英雄》、《命運》；序曲《哀格蒙特》；鋼琴奏鳴曲《悲愴》、《月光曲》、《暴風雨》、《熱情》等等.一生坎坷,沒有建立家庭.二十六歲時開始耳聾,晚年全聾,只能通過談話冊與人交談.但孤寂的生活并沒有使他沉默和隱退,在一切進步思想都遭禁止的封建復辟年代里,依然堅守“自由、平等”的政治信念,通過言論和作品,為共和理想奮臂吶喊,寫下不朽名作《第九交響曲》.他的作品受十八世紀啟蒙運動和德國狂飆突進運動的影響,個性鮮明,較前人有了很大的發(fā)展.在音樂表現(xiàn)上,他幾乎涉及當時所有的音樂體裁；大大提高了鋼琴的表現(xiàn)力,使之獲得交響性的戲劇效果；又使交響曲成為直接反映社會變革的重要音樂形式.貝多芬集古典音樂的大成,同時開辟了浪漫時期音樂的道路,對世界音樂的發(fā)展有著舉足輕重的作用,被尊稱為“樂圣”.
