In 1779, eight-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven, known as "Louis", was already a musical prodigy. As he grew, he defied those around him, embracing his own path. Later, he met Mozart amidst political turmoil, and the French Revolution's spark ignited his passion. Louis refused to serve masters, instead dedicating himself to art. Despite family tragedies and unrequited love, he persevered, eventually studying under Haydn in Vienna in 1792. His journey culminated in his iconic music, which has inspired countless hearts and minds.
