It didn’t take long for Beethoven, after arriving in Vienna from his native Bonn, to become the talk of the town. It was the fire in his piano playing, his improvisational talent, his adept social skills (just kidding), and the fact that just about everyone couldn’t get enough of his Septet.

Created by Daniel Flick
