Beethoven was one of the finest and most important composers of all time. He made incredible music despite being deaf and was the most respected composer by the time he died a prosperous and well known artist although he did have financial difficulties.
He died of Cirrhosis of the liver in March 26, 1827 in his own home in poverty after a few days of the performance of one of his last symphonies where he was going off time and it could be seen he was ill.
