Ludwig van Beethoven

This new 'First Discovery' series of illustrated listening books will appeal to young children by introducing them to the lives of the great composers in pictures, music and words.

---

An illustrated biography about Beethoven’s childhood and how he came to become a great composer. The accompanying CD contains recordings of some of his most famous works as well as the narration of the story.



Beethoven did badly at school because all he could think about was music, and Mozart was one of his early admirers. Children will learn that they can make up a tune to their favourite poem and sing it, and that with only seven notes they can play countless tunes.
