What are the Romantic qualities found in the music of Beethoven? Why is he still considered to be a Classical composer?

    Because the man was a freak’n genius….His music appeals to a vast majority…that’s why it is still revered as classical

    I’ll address your second question first. He’s classical because his works (especially his early ones) are directly descended from the music of Mozart and Haydn. The style is very classical, using classical cadences and harmonies, etc. However, when Beethoven began to lose his hearing, he began to change his outlook on life and on music. He used music to communicate his feelings at the time of composition. This became first apparent with his third symphony (Sinfonia Eroica). You can also hear traces of this with his 8th piano sonata (the Pathetique). In essence, Beethoven was single-handedly responsible for the transition between the Classical and Romantic periods.
