Can anyone tell me in what way Beethoven is important to the society or maybe to the world of music? He is famous but is he important? Explain please. Thanks.

He is the transition between the classical and romantic periods. He also helped produce music along in such as better pianos were invented, he reformed the symphony, introduced instruments to the orchestra. Without him, music wouldn't have progressed as it has now in its instruments.

Beethoven handled the violin and piano so awkwardly and also preferred playing his own made up music that his piano teacher called him hopeless as a composer. He preferred playing his own compositions instead of the stereotype of the genre. His teacher said he had no initiative nor perserverence. He was also
plagued by "Lead poisoning" and his physical life deteriorated to a degree that he went deaf and in his despair...withdrew from society and grieved of the thought of dying alone. He was a very special person. He didn't realize how great he would be. And most of the world didn't really know of his works until he had died.

Well, he is one of the greatest composers in history, and his music is seen as one of the bridges between the Classical era and the Romantic era, because his style of composition changed so much throughout his life.
He was very innovative, and took the established musical structures (the status quo as invented by Haydn, Mozart, and even Beethoven himself) and pushed the boundaries with them.
And all this despite the fact that he went deaf halfway through his life.

He is the first "rocker" so to speak, the guy was def but he wrote amazing symphony's just by knowing in his mind what to write, I mean he wrote most of his work when he was def! that is amazing. I am a musician and if i was def, i wouldnt even try after i lost my hearing!

He is an example of how to triumph in spite of being handicapped. He was able to make his greatest compositions at the time when his was completely deaf. Also, he is one of the greatest classical composers of all time.

The human race celebrates geniuses. His music is part of the world heritage.
