His musical expressions of heroism and struggle mirror his personal tragedies, including the loss of his hearing and a tumultuous family life. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in music, he remains one of the most recognised and influential of all composers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeethoven’s career is typically categorised into three periods – early, middle and late. In his later years his hearing had almost completely gone. Interestingly, many of Beethoven’s most admired and important works of classical music came from this decade of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis autograph manuscript of Violin Sonata no. 10 in G Major is Beethoven’s final violin sonata.
