Even as a young boy, Beethoven marched to the beat of a different drummer. An accomplished pianist by age 12, he yearned to try new sounds and persevered until audiences heard his music. | |

Great starting point for learning about the composer. Brief yet accurate overview highlights his life, provides good coverage of his music. Effectively presents musical influences. Enjoyable. Animation keeps it appealing to kids. Beautiful music. Excellent for music programs, libraries. |

Surprisingly popular, once kids found out it was animated. Many could name the pieces. "It's about a way famous man." "We could hear how Beethoven felt being deaf." "He was grumpy." "The music was ok, I like rap better. But it is kind of amazing that he could write and play music without hearing it." |
