路德维希·凡·贝多芬 （Ludwig van Beethoven），出生于德国波恩，维也纳古典乐派代表人物之一，欧洲古典主义时期作曲家。
贝多芬在父亲严厉苛刻的教育下度过了童年，造就了他倔强、敏感激动的性格。 22岁开始终生定居于维也纳，创作于1803年至1804年间的《第三交响曲》标志着其创作进入成熟阶段。 此后20余年间，他数量众多的音乐作品通过强烈的艺术感染力和宏伟气魄，将古典主义音乐推向高峰，并预示了19世纪浪漫主义音乐的到来。
贝多芬一生创作题材广泛，重要作品包括9部交响曲、1部歌剧、32首钢琴奏鸣曲、5首钢琴协奏曲、多首管弦乐序曲及小提琴、大提琴奏鸣曲等。 因其对古典音乐的重大贡献，对奏鸣曲式和交响曲套曲结构的发展和创新，而被后世尊称为“乐圣”、“交响乐之王”。
