Google on Thursday celebrated iconic German music composer Ludvig van Beethoven's 245th year by creating a cool puzzle with beautiful music, drama and depth that tests your knowledge of his work via an interactive doodle. The doodle begins with one of his symphonies playing in the background and asks you to piece together his work such as Fifth Symphony, Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata and Ode To Joy as the composer meets with an unfortunate incident where a horse damages his documents on his way to the concert hall. WATCH VIDEO Later, the doodle shows a distraught Beethoven struggling to put his compositions together. Despite suffering two big setbacks in life, the premature death of his two siblings and losing his hearing at the peak of his career, his music prevailed. As Mozart had once said, “one day, [that boy] will give the world something to talk about.” Beethoven's date of birth is still unclear, but December 17th marks the 245th anniversary of his baptism.
