Young David has a school assignment to learn about Beethoven and his
music. Fortunately, his grandfather can not only play Beethoven's music
for him, but he can also tell David the story of Beethoven's life. David
learns that Beethoven learned to play piano at age four and kept
composing music his whole life, even after losing his hearing. David
can't help but appreciate the man and his music, which people have been
listening to and enjoying for more than 200 years.
