Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) was a German poet, playwright and historian, and with Goethe the central figure of Weimar Classicism. He trained as a military doctor and deserted the service in order to write. His Ode to Joy was later set to music in the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
