Long Description: 
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.
