Throughout taking a musical course this semester, I decided to take Ludwig van Beethoven and Miley Cyrus and compare them in multiple aspects. This includes their personalities, musical history, and their lives. Both artists are very influential with much success in their careers. They as well share similar rough patches through the public eye. Beethoven and Cyrus were brought into the musical business through family.
