Death Anniversary: Ludwig van Beethoven — March 26, 1827
26 March 2027
Ludwig van Beethoven died in Vienna on 26 March 1827, almost completely deaf, in the middle of a thunderstorm that witnesses swore he raised a fist against before he died. He was buried at first in a different cemetery; in 1888 his remains were moved to the Zentralfriedhof, into the section of graves of honour where Schubert, Brahms and the Strauss family also rest — Vienna gathering its composers together a lifetime after it had mostly ignored them.
