I literally had never heard of him. I'm not really into music, anyway...

I watched it. What's the relationship between "King's Speech" (about a modern-s day British King) and L.V. Beethoven? May I ask?
@Lego. You may be unaware of it, but most likely (unless you 've lived your whole live abandoned in a dungeon), you have listened some of Beethoven's music. They are extremely "popular", used, reproduced, performed at a unbelievable frequency, for a composer born 245 y. ago.
He is one of the pioneers (possibly fair to say "the pioneer") of the Romantic movement in the music, and he used a very egocentric method of composition, but he had a vast knowledge of music, that allow himself to use music as a very powerful method of expression.
I'll quote you among his most known pieces. Listen to them, so you'll notice you've heard them before. And if you haven't heard them; for real -- you are up to a musical pleasure that very few composers can give you: transmitting real emotion through wholes and eighths.
Fur Elize (Bagatelle for the Piano in A minor)
Sonata for the Piano #14-2 (in C sharp minor): "Quasi una Fantasia" (fakely named "Moonlight Sonata")
Symphony for the Orchestra #5 (in C minor) ["Thus fate knocks in the door"]
Symphony For the Orchestra and chorus #9 (in C minor -- again: Yup a favorite scale of his) ["the Choral"] Lyrics by F. Schindler. "Ode and die Freude" (the Song to the friendship)
only the last (4th movement) here. The whole thing exceeds 1hr.

The reason I ask is because he would have heard this

Oh ! The second of the seventh. The finest of the Allegreto. I like how everything rises from the Cello Soloist. I love.. shall I say. Listening it again now.

Hmm... this seems to be a cycle. Two weeks ago I didn't care for flying F-14's, and now I am joining the 'KSUU-CREW' for dogfights. Yesterday I didn't really care for music (it's okay -- just wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. ), but you know, that's pretty nice!
