Ludwig van Beethoven the Elder, also Ludovicus van Beethoven and Lodewijk van Beethoven (January 5, 1712 – December 24, 1773) was a professional singer and music director, best known as the grandfather of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
During the course of his lifetime (1770–1827), Ludwig van Beethoven enjoyed relationships with many of his musical contemporaries.
 Beethoven was famously difficult to get along with, and the history of his relationships with contemporaries is littered with arguments, misunderstandings, and reconciliations.
 Beethoven had well-known fallings out with his one-time teacher, Joseph Haydn, with the piano virtuoso and composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and the German composer Carl Maria von Weber.
Thayer's copy of Beethoven (Mähler, 1804–05) is an oil painting portrait of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
 Estimated to have been painted around 1808, it is a copy by an unidentified painter of the untitled portrait of Beethoven from 1804-05 by Joseph Willibrord Mähler.
 This copy was owned for many years by Alexander Wheelock Thayer, author of the first scholarly biography of the composer, who considered it one of his most prized possessions.
 Today the painting belongs to the New York Public Library.
Ferdinand Ries (28 November 1784 [baptised] – 13 January 1838) was a German composer.
 Ries was a friend, pupil and secretary of Ludwig van Beethoven.
 He composed eight symphonies, a violin concerto, eight piano concertos, three operas, and numerous other works in many genres, including 26 string quartets.
 In 1838 he published a collection of reminiscences of his teacher Beethoven, co-written with Franz Wegeler.
 The symphonies, some chamber works—most of them with piano— his violin concerto and his piano concertos have been recorded, demonstrating a style which is, unsurprising due to his connection to Beethoven, somewhere between those of the Classical and early Romantic eras.
Joseph Willibrord Mähler's portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven, painted in approximately 1804 or 1805, is the first of four untitled portraits the painter made of the composer.
 Today it hangs in the Pasqualati House of the Vienna Museum.
Ludwig van Beethoven is a series of sculptures of Ludwig van Beethoven by German-American sculptor Henry Baerer.
 Versions are displayed in Central Park in New York City, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

 It includes two bronze statues, including a bust of Beethoven and an allegorical female figure on a polished Barre Granite pedestal.
Ludwig van Beethoven ( , ; ] ; baptised 17 December 177026 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist.
 A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers.
 His best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 1 violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, 16 string quartets, his great Mass the "Missa solemnis", and one opera, "Fidelio".
The Beethoven "Gesamtausgabe" is the first collected edition of the works of Ludwig van Beethoven.
 Its full title is "Ludwig van Beethovens Werke: vollständige kritisch durchgesehene überall berechtige Ausgabe" (which roughly translated means "Ludwig van Beethoven's Works: complete, critical, thoroughly revised, authorized edition").
 It was published between 1862 and 1865, with a supplementary volume appearing in 1888.
Wilhelm von Lenz (born 20 May 1809 in Riga - died 7 January 1883 in Saint Petersburg) was a Baltic German Russian official and writer.
 Wilhelm von Lenz was a friend of many mid-century Romantic composers, including Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin and Hector Berlioz, Lenz's most important and influential work was an early biography of the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, entitled "Beethoven et ses trois styles" (1855), written in response to the disparagement of Beethoven by Alexander Ulybyshev in his "Nouvelle biographie de Mozart" (1843).
 Lenz promoted the idea (already suggested by earlier figures such as François-Joseph Fétis) that Beethoven's musical style be divided into three characteristic periods.
 Lenz's periodisation, with minor changes, is still widely used today by musicologists in discussing Beethoven's compositions.
Ludwig van (full title: "Ludwig van: A report"; German: "Ludwig van: ein Bericht") is a black-and-white German film by Mauricio Kagel.
 Filmed in 1969, it was first screened the following year.
 The work was commissioned by Westdeutscher Rundfunk for the bicentennial celebrations of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven in 1970.
 The film examines the reception of the composer and his works and how he has become a consumer product of the culture industry.
 The soundtrack is an arrangement of fragments of Beethoven's works, modified as if heard by the deaf composer himself; it is distinct from Kagel's 1970 composition "Ludwig van".
 Prominent contemporary artists including Dieter Roth, Stefan Wewerka (), Robert Filliou, and Joseph Beuys were involved in the design.
 According to "Gramophone", "at first it’s a laugh a minute ... then Kagel's film turns dark".
