My piano teaching sister requested another t-shirt design for her students as an incentive, to hand out at their recital this year.  I remember my mother awarded little composer statuettes to her students, and we thought it would be fun to use this idea for the design, Beethoven being the most universally recognized  and influential composer.  Can't mistake his unruly, very full mane, and though almost completely deaf, and despite a rather sullen countenance, he managed to write the most magnificent, inspiring music that truly changed the world.
