Beethovens Centrality
Beethoven became a mythical cultural
hero, immediately after his death (and still
today)
Late works were initially disliked, but came
to be seen as masterpieces for the
connoisseur
The idea that Beethoven was expressing
himself in his works made him an ideal
composer to Romantic composers
