Ludwig van Beethoven In lecture four, we study life and works of Ludwig van Beethoven, transitional figure who bridges Classical and Romantic eras.

Samuel Andreyev explains Beethoven&transformation of artist&role from servant to autonomous creator and emphasizes how his late works continue to challenge and inspire with their visionary spirit.
