Mine would be Ludwig Van Beethoven, the father of the European Spirit and the father of the romantic era.

(Parts of his Ninth Symphony are the European hymn.)

Salute, Ludwig! :D

@Breumaster​ 

You don't have to, if you don't want, but if you want to add him, I'd suggest:

Copying Beethoven or Louis Van Beethoven.

I think Copying Beethoven would be the better one, because it shows the making of his Ninths Symphony, when he already was completely deaf.

@Breumaster​ I consider him, but I dropped the idea, when I found out 'Copying Beethoven' was a fictionalized account of the last year of his life. The other title is too lightly seen for my taste. 

Plus, I am having a hard time confirming him as Ludwig Van Beethoven, the father of the European Spirit.

I could probably get away with Ludwig Van Beethoven, the father of the Romantic Era though, but the lack of a solid non-fiction biopic makes me want to sit tight with thirty-five options I have currently.
