Google’s new doodle honours Beethoven on the 245th anniversary of the maestro’s baptism with an interactive doodle.

Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the most influential composers of all time.

The interactive doodle incorporated some of Beethoven’s signature melodies including Fifth Symphony and Ode To Joy. Beethoven’s hearing was almost gone by the time he was in his 30s and in 1811 he had given up on conducting in public but continued to compose. Many say that this was his most creative period.

Symphony No. 5

Moonlight Sonata

Symphony No. 9

Für Elise

Symphony No. 9 in D minor: Ode To Joy
