Ludwig van
Beethoven (1770-1827)
Nine symphonies,
9 concerti, 32 piano sonatas, 10 violin sonatas, and on and
on. He is widely regarding as one of the world's
foremost composers. This statue is located in Pershing
Square in downtown Los Angeles. The plaque indicates
that this statue is dedicated to William Andrews Clark Jr.,
founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. The
initial project was to erect a statue of Clark to thank him
for his generosity. But he preferred a statue of his favorite
composer: Beethoven.
