According to the musician Anselm Huttenbrenner, who was at Beethoven's bedside, when 
Beethoven died his last defiant act was to shake his fist at a raging thunderstorm 
outside. Many have seen this as symbolic of his triumph over deafness, which was a 
major turning point in his life.  
Huttenbrenner wrote: "There was a dramatic clap of thunder and a flash of lightning, 
and the great composer was dead".
