Do your best to be a good person. Love and freedom are more important than anything else. Even if you forget the throne, don't forget the truth. "? -Beethoven (1792)?

Beethoven1770 65438+February 16 was born in Bonn, a small town near France on the Rhine. He was born in a Flemish family, a musical family. His grandfather's name is Lutvik, the head of the Bonn Palace Orchestra, and his father is an alcoholic tenor. His mother is a maid and the daughter of a cook. Beethoven showed his musical talent from an early age. His father is eager to train him to be a genius like Mozart. From an early age, he was kept at home to play the violin, or forced to practice beside the harpsichord all day. At the age of eight, he began to perform in concerts and tried to compose music. However, his music education in this period has been very chaotic and unsystematic.

At the age of twelve, he was able to play freely. He became an organist, Nie Fei (Christian? Gottlob? Neefe， 1748- 1798)。 At this time, he began to formally learn music from Nie Fei. Nie Fei is a versatile musician. He broadened Beethoven's artistic horizons, familiarized him with some excellent examples of German classical art, and consolidated Beethoven's understanding of lofty goals. Beethoven's formal study and systematic upbringing actually began with Nie Fei's careful teaching and training: Nie Fei also led him to teach Mozart in Vienna from 65438 to 0787? . After listening to his performance, Mozart predicted that Beethoven would shake the world one day. Beethoven received the news of his mother's death shortly after he arrived in Vienna, and he had to go back to Bonn at once. Due to the drag of his family, he didn't come to Vienna for the second time until his father died in the autumn of 1792, but Mozart was already dead. After Beethoven came to Vienna for the second time, he quickly won the title of the most outstanding performer in Vienna (especially improvisation). Later, he first with Franz Joseph Haydn (Joseph? Haydn, 1732- 1809), later studied under Schenk and Ablisberg (John? Albrechtsberger, 1736- 1809) and antonio salieri (Antonio? Salieri, 1750- 1825) and others. He contacted many famous professors, writers and musicians at that time through his association with Bonn intellectual Brenin, and was influenced by the trend of thought of "hurricane movement" from them. His democratic thought was mature a few years before the French Revolution, but it developed rapidly in the revolutionary era.
