Ludwig van Beethoven. | Born December 16, 1770. Died March 26, 1827. | "The greatest composer of Sym | phony." Born at bonn, Germany; his father | and grandfather were musicians. Beethoven said to | have been a grave, solemn boy. He began to study | music when he was five years old, and was made to | work very hard and long by his father. In 1787 he | improvised a difficult fugue before Mozart, who said, | "He will make a noise in the world some day." |
While still a young man he went to Vienna to live, | and princes and the aristocracy made much of him, and | gave him constant support. By concert playing, com- | posing and teaching, he earned a comfortable living. | In 1789 he began to grow deaf. This affliction and the | conduct of a dissipated nephew, whom he very much | loved, made him irritable and sometimes rude in his | behavior. He was a poor business manager and often | in want. He never married, and lived alone, often with- | out servants. He was passionately fond of nature and | often composed while walking. He died in Vienna. |
A fine player, he also stands highest as a composer. | He wrote nine symphonies, many quartets, sonatas, | masses, concertos, one opera, and many small pieces | including songs. |
From Sonata, op. 26.
