The story about Beethoven

His father, Johann Van Beethoven, was a tenor and a piano and singing teacher at the court of the Elector of Cologne. His drinking affected his family life. His mother Maria Magdalena lived only 4 1 year.

Beethoven was the second child in the family (the first one died only six days). His mother Magdalena gave birth to five children in succession, but only two boys, Caspar Anton Carr and Nicholas John, grew up. They played an important role in Beethoven's musical life.

2. Beethoven's love life

Beethoven has never found a lifelong partner or been married, but his emotional experience is quite rich. 1800, Beethoven fell in love with 16-year-old lady Qi Li Aitai. Because of their different backgrounds, they finally parted ways, which made Beethoven, who was deeply troubled by ear diseases at that time, almost commit suicide for her and wrote the Moonlight Sonata in C minor for her.

From 65438 to 0804, Beethoven and the widow Josephine developed feelings, but they finally missed each other because of their different status.

3. Beethoven's childhood

Beethoven grew up in a bad family environment. His mother and father are married, and his father is just a singer. He usually plays for some nobles for fun, doesn't make much money, and often drinks too much. When he drinks too much, he will get drunk and beat and scold them both.

So Beethoven not only had a poor childhood, but also had an unfortunate childhood. Beethoven's father lied about his age in order to let him go out to make money, and he was taken with him when he was only six years old.

Beethoven made friends.

1In the spring of 787, Beethoven went to Vienna for the first time and met Mozart, who was 3 1 year old. Mozart appreciated his playing skills. In the same year, I met Count Wahlstam, who was nine years older than myself. He is an important supporter of Beethoven's artistic career and economy.

1790, composer Haydn went to London via Bonn, and Beethoven met Haydn. In the same year, he was entrusted to complete two oratorios: one was a oratorio mourning the death of Joseph II (woO87), which was Beethoven's first work with political significance; And Leopold II Ascension Oratorio (woO88).

5. Beethoven's death

Beethoven never had any relatives around him, only his brother Carl left him a nephew. He pinned his hopes on Carl Jr., who would lead Carl Jr. to higher education and plan countless bright futures for his nephew. But little Carl failed his uncle's hope. He went into business and ended up in debt.

Forced by debt, he shot himself, but he didn't die. However, Beethoven was deeply traumatized and almost died. It took me two days to remember. Beethoven's condition deteriorated when the doctor came. Although he had three operations, the treatment was ineffective and he finally swallowed his last breath.
