Baby Beethoven

## Cover

Baby Beethoven is the 10th Baby Einstein video to be released. It is presented in a similar format to Baby Mozart and Baby Bach with musical compositions accompanying footage of toys and other novelty items. As the name suggests, the music of Baby Beethoven was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, albeit rearranged with softer instruments by Bill Weisbach. It was re-released in 2004 with some changes, then again in 2008, and then as a discovery kit in 2010.
