Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer. He was arguably the most famous of all classical composers on Earth. He continued to compose works even after becoming completely deaf.
The Sixth Doctor was present at the birth of Beethoven and gave his mother enough money to raise the child her husband did not want. (ST: Gone Too Soon)
The Tenth Doctor claimed to have learned how to play the organ (or possibly keyboard instruments in general) from Beethoven, suggesting the two had met. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment) After the Doctor and Beethoven were abducted by Momus for a dinner party, the Doctor told Beethoven that he loved his Fifth. (WC: The Lonely Computer)
In an unconfirmed incident at the Royal Albert Hall, the Tenth Doctor claimed to have once asked Beethoven if he could "rattle off a tune," to which Beethoven reportedly replied, "Pardon?" (DW: Music of the Spheres)
- The canonicity of Music of the Spheres is uncertain.
