Ludwig van Beethoven was a genius. Imagine to be almost deaf and compose such music. To imagine the tone in your head, without being able to hear it properly.
If you like to travel, go to his birthplace in April, as the city is looking gorgeous under the cherry blossoms, and then go to Vienna, where he spend most of his life. Vienna is all year round worth of visiting. Bonn mostly in April.
Quite remarkable isn’t it. The word genius can sometimes get bandied around, but he certainly fits the bill.
I'll be sure to visit the places you mention if I ever make it over.
Yes, genius fits to him. You are 4 h of flight to Bonn from Ireland, might be a good weekend trip, and also some 2 h more to Vienna.
