I am doing a essay/report thing for my choir class on Ludwig Van Beethoven, a famous composer. He was born in 1770, he died in 1827. but for my essay/report I need a good summary on his life, hobbies he might have had besides just composing, etc. If you know anything it would be appreciated very much. Thank You.

Was a German pianist; one of the greatest composers of all time. Studied under Haydn and Salieri. Wrote the famous 5th symphony and Moonlight Sonata and an opera Fidelio. Was quoted as saying, “I live only in my music.” Enjoyed walking in the woods for inspiration. Was rebellious, introverted, and did not foster relationships. Couldn't run his own household. Became deaf later in life and his music, still genius, reflected that.
You need to do some of your own research if you have to write a whole paper.
