    		"[Ludwig van Beethoven's] overbearing manner and frequent interference in his nephew's [Karl's] life, especially as he grew into a young man, apparently drove Karl to attempt suicide on 31 July 1826 by shooting himself in the head."

    		Oh, yeah, and Ludwig van Beethoven composed "Overture to Egmont - Opus 84" for the play of the same name by Johann Wolfgang van Goethe.
