I thought Beethovens birthday was unknown? the book i read about didn't give a specfic date it only said it was in december this was because his father destroyed his birth certificate so he could profit for longer out of a child prodigy

Beethoven is dead.  Maybe he'll be ressurrected with better hearing.  If any had reason to wonder about G-d it was Beethoven. However, he didn't seem to complain that much.  Basically, after Heiligenstadt he just gave up the idea of controlling his life in the ultimate sense. He was a very real and very profound person.  He let all his emotions out.

Happy birthday Beethoven (can you hear me - i SAID...)

I'm happy he didn't kill himself! He is the epitome of irony IMO. A deaf composer, life is so cruel!
