Ludwig van Beethoven
Profile: German composer and pianist, born in 1770 (baptized 17 December 1770) in Bonn, Germany and died 26 March 1827 in Vienna, Austria.
Beethoven was the eldest son of a singer in the Kapelle of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and grandson of the Archbishop's Kapellmeister. He moved in 1792 to Vienna, where he had some lessons from Haydn and others, quickly establishing himself as a remarkable keyboard-player and original composer. By 1815 increasing deafness made public performance impossible and accentuated existing eccentricities of character, patiently tolerated by a series of rich patrons and his royal pupil the Archduke Rudolph.
Beethoven did much to enlarge the possibilities of music and widen the horizons of later generations of composers. To his contemporaries he was sometimes a controversial figure, making heavy demands on listeners both by the length and by the complexity of his writing, as he explored new fields of music.

Paul Kletzki
Profile: Born in Łódź, Poland, on the 21st of March 1900, Paul Kletzki (the German spelling of his Polish name Paweł Klecki) was a Polish conductor and composer. He first joined the Łódź Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of fifteen, and after serving in the Great War, studied philosophy at the University of Warsaw. During the 1920s his compositions were championed by Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler, who permitted Kletzki to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1925. In the second half of the twentieth century, Kletzki was a renowned conductor, especially of Mahler. In 1954 he was appointed chief conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Between 1958 and 1961, he was principal conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and from 1966 to 1970, he was the General Music Director of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Kletzki died on the 5th of March 1973
