Ludwig van Beethoven[n 1] (baptised 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist.

List of compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven
See also: Catalogues of Beethoven compositions
The list of compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven consists of 722 works[1] written over forty-five years, from his earliest work in 1782 (variations for piano on a march by Ernst Christoph Dressler) when he was only eleven years old and still in Bonn, until his last work just before his death in Vienna in 1827.
