Donald Macleod continues his journey through the life of Ludwig van Beethoven.

In this week鈥檚 episode, Donald Macleod traces Beethoven鈥檚 story through the years 1799-1801. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, we see Beethoven finally emerging as a mature composer and beginning to produce the enduring works that will mark him out as one of the great artists of his age. But there are clouds on the horizon too, and we see the first intimations of a serious problem with his hearing.
