This is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven(1770-1827) He is one of the most famous musicians along with Mozart and J. S. Bach. There will be many activities this year to mark the occasion. My favorite works of his are his Seventh and Eighth Symphonies along with his First Piano Concerto. Georges Onslow(1784-1853) is sometimes called the "French Beethoven". He was born I France to an English Father who had fled England because of a scandal and a French mother. I don't see much similarities between the two of them. Onslow's music is largely forgotten today
There were a lot of movies about Beethoven. The most famous was Imortal Beloved from 1994 staring Gary Oldman. I have seen this movie.
