No, Beethoven was not one of the first composers to write music specifically for Ballet. While he did compose some works that were used in ballet, such as "The Creatures of Prometheus," earlier composers like Jean-Baptiste Lully and Christoph Willibald Gluck were more prominent in the development of ballet music. Ballet as an art form began to take shape in the 17th century, well before Beethoven's time in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
