Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven ( i/ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪ.toʊvən/; German: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːt.hoːfən] ( Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father Johann van Beethoven and Christian Gottlob Neefe. During his first 22 years in Bonn, Beethoven intended to study with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and befriended Joseph Haydn. Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792 and began studying with Haydn, quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Biography Background and early life Prince-Elector's Palace (Kurfürstliches Schloss) in Bonn, where the Beethoven family had been active since the 1730s Beethoven was born of this marriage in Bonn. Beethoven's first music teacher was his father. A portrait of the 13-year-old Beethoven by an unknown Bonn master (c. 1783) Beethoven was introduced to several people who became important in his life in these years. Establishing his career in Vienna

Beethoven Ah, yes...then as now people wanted to be able to see their idols. And what they apparently wanted to see, more than anything else, were the ideals he seemed to represent. Not a mere man. A mere man is how the astonished music critic Ludwig Rellstab described him upon meeting him in 1825. Though surprised that Beethoven appeared to him so ordinary, he had to ask himself "why should Beethoven's features look like his scores?" Beethoven was born only six years before the American Revolution and nineteen years before the French. Beethoven moved easily in aristocratic circles and was often patronized by its members. If Beethoven's uncompromising behavior was what most drew the attention of the Viennese, it would be no surprise if the Beethoven they saw in pictures began somehow to resemble a defiant revolutionary. The nose, apparently, was revised as well, being a bit larger than is commonly represented. michael@pianonoise.com

An die Freude (Beethoven) O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere. Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! ||: Deine Zauber binden wieder, was die Mode streng geteilt; alle Menschen werden Brüder, wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. :|| Wem der große Wurf gelungen, eines Freundes Freund zu sein, wer ein holdes Weib errungen, mische seinen Jubel ein! Freude trinken alle Wesen an den Brüsten der Natur; alle Guten, alle Bösen folgen ihrer Rosenspur. ||: Küsse gab sie uns und Reben, einen Freund, geprüft im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott! ||: Seid umschlungen Millionen. ||: Freude, Tochter aus Elysium! Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Nach der "Urtext"-Ausgabe von Max Unger (Leipzig: Ernst Eulenburg, n.d. Schluss-Chor über Schillers Ode an die Freude letzter Satz der Symphonie Opus 125, von L. van Beethoven Clavier-Auszug und vier ausgesetzte Singstimmen. Basso Soli. CHOR.

He was a major musical figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras. Beethoven is widely regarded as one of history's greatest composers. Sourced[edit] I want to seize fate by the throat. About Beethoven[edit] Another equally true saying of Schumann is that, compared with Beethoven, Schubert is as a woman to a man.
