My Research Approach :
I visited the library to read up on his biography which provided useful as a starting piont to my research. I also searched the net to find some info relating to Beethoven's biography. After typing his name into google. The sheer number of sites dedicated to his life didn't suprise me. I already knew that Beethoven's popularity as a classical composer was immense. It would seem that all this info would inevitably make it easier for gathering research although I found that each site took a different approach to dealing with representing so much info. Some site's were more deatiled than others which seemed to provide almost "too much" detail into his life so I needed to edit down what I had researched and use the most appropriate info. The internet also provided a number of audio file's and picture's which helped place the research into a context. I have also found out that some of Beethoven's original manuscripts and composed work's are in the British Museum So I will prob's check these out aswell.
