Louis Ferdinand Prince of Prussia (1772-1806) was an excellent pianist and composer pioneered the way from the Classical to the Romantic style indeed more distinctly than his contemporaries: "If he is not a composer of the Romantic era, then he must be considered the most romantic of the Classical." - wrote Robert Schumann about Louis Ferdinand. At a meeting in Berlin in 1796 Beethoven said approvingly, "the prince play no royal or princely, but as a capable pianist." Beethoven dedicated him his Third Piano Concerto in recognition of his talents. In 1806 Prince Louis Ferdinand died at the age of only 34 on the battlefield in combat against Napoleon's troops.
