In part four of our series on Beethoven, we see how his continued growth in the world of music was both a blessing and a curse, as it elevated him to statuses he would never achieve otherwise, but also took a major tole on his sanity and well being. We look at his struggle with his family, a special mystery woman, and how he redefined the symphony for the rest of time.\xa0
