"Life is hard. For those who are not willing to be mediocre, it is an endless struggle. It is often miserable, without brilliance, without happiness, in loneliness and silence. "I think that even if no one sees or hears Beethoven's hard work, as long as you put in the effort, you will gain something. Just as he received more critical acclaim in his later years, at least the revered Beethoven succeeded.

Beethoven’s father often dragged his son to the keyboard, made him practice hard for many hours, and slapped him every time he made a mistake. Neighbors often heard the little child sobbing to sleep from fatigue and pain. This was Beethoven's childhood. Today we are like flowers in a greenhouse.

Anecdotes

Once, Beethoven walked into a long-term restaurant for dinner. As soon as he sat down, he concentrated on composing his movement. After he finished the idea, he happily called the waiter and said:

"Settlement. How much is it?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said: "Mr. .You haven’t eaten yet, why do you have to pay!”

In 1812, two giants of German literature and art, Beethoven and Ode, met at the Bohemian Baths. Beethoven was an admirer of Goethe. He once said: "Goethe's poems make me happy." Now meeting him for the first time, he hopes to further explore his soul and absorb personality from this great poet's wisdom and talent. strength.

While they were chatting enthusiastically, the queen, the prince and a group of courtiers walked past them. Beethoven had always hated such people, so when the Queen took off her hat to him and the Queen nodded to him, Beethoven raised his head and pretended not to see anything. However, Goethe was different. He quickly shook off the dust on his body, straightened his collar, took off his hat in his hands, stepped forward to greet the queen and the prince, and bowed to pay tribute.

At this time, Beethoven felt that the tall image of the poet in his mind suddenly collapsed. After the royal family passed by in a grand manner, Beethoven said to Goethe in an almost quarrelsome tone: "You are not the author of "Getz" and "Faust" as I imagined, but a vulgar person. "Since then, they have never seen each other again. Beethoven's 'Struggle Story 3'

Beethoven is the Caesar of Western classical music. But who knew that Beethoven suffered from ear disease when he was 25 years old and became deaf when he was 45 years old.

Beethoven's music brought endless enjoyment to future generations, but he could not enjoy the works he created during his lifetime.

Please pay attention to this natural musician

On December 6, 1770, Beethoven was born into a musical family in Bonn. He could play the harpsichord when he was 4 years old, performed on stage since he was 8 years old, and gained a reputation as a music prodigy. When he was 10 years old, he studied under the most famous music educator in Prussia, Nie Fei. At the age of 12, on the recommendation of Nie Fei, he worked as an organist's assistant in Count Waltstein's court band. This was the beginning of Beethoven's career as a "musical servant".

At the age of 17, Beethoven went to visit the music master Mozart and received a warm reception. After listening to Beethoven play a few piano pieces, Mozart said excitedly: "Everyone, please pay attention to this young man. He will win praise from the world in the near future!" Mozart also promised to give Beethoven lessons. Unfortunately, Beethoven's mother died suddenly two months later. In this regard, Beethoven's father became depressed and drank all day long. Beethoven had to shoulder the burden of supporting the family and returned to his original opera house as a pianist.

At the age of 19, when the Great March broke out in France, Beethoven passionately wrote the chorus "Who is the Free Man" to express his desire for freedom and democracy. Later, Beethoven met Duke Lichnovsky through someone's introduction. He admired Beethoven's talent and accepted him as a musical servant. Beethoven soon captivated the Viennese people with his improvisational piano playing. His musical melody was sometimes like a trickle of water, sometimes like a stormy sea, sometimes like a bird singing and a chicken crowing, sometimes like a storm. Someone once commented that Beethoven's improvisations are "full of life and beauty."

I want to seize fate by the throat

At the age of 30, Beethoven fell in love with a Countess Juliet. Chichardi, but her father thought that Beethoven was of low birth, so he betrothed his daughter to a count. This gave Beethoven great mental stimulation. It is said that his famous song "Für Elise" was composed during this period.

Although being broken up in love made him sad, what made him even more sad was that his ears began to become deaf. He wrote in a letter to a friend: "I live a miserable life... If I were to do other professions, it might be okay; but in my profession, this is the most terrible experience!" Beethoven Efforts were made to seek treatment, but to no avail, so he moved to the countryside of Vienna to recuperate for two years. As a result, instead of getting better, his condition worsened. Even the church bell opposite the window could no longer be heard.

In despair, Beethoven thought about death many times, but he was unwilling to pass away like this. He firmly believed that only music could save him. He wrote in a letter to a friend: "I want to hold the throat of fate and not allow it to destroy me!" Beethoven determined to engage in music creation for the rest of his life. Since then, Vienna's official concert has lost an outstanding pianist, but the world music scene has given birth to an immortal composer.

Beethoven began composing music at the age of 32. After nearly two years of hesitation and exploration, he finally created his first work with his own distinctive characteristics - "Symphony No. 3" ("Symphony No. 3"). "Eroica Symphony"), its most prominent feature is the ups and downs of the tone, sometimes calm and meditative, sometimes angry and roaring, which makes people angry. Beethoven composed the "Eroica Symphony" and originally intended it to be dedicated to Napoleon. However, when he heard the news that Napoleon was crowned emperor at Notre Dame de Paris, he was furious and angrily erased the original dedication and changed it to: "Heroic Symphony" - composed in memory of a great figure.

There is only one Beethoven

In October 1809, the French army occupied Vienna, and the Austrian nobles who were in favor of the French army tried to curry favor with the occupiers, including Lichnovs. Duke Key, he forced Beethoven to play the piano for the French officers, which made Beethoven intolerable. He picked up a stool and threw it at the Duke, and left the count's house that night. Before leaving, he left a note and wrote: "Duke, the reason why you became a Duke is only due to accidental birth; and the reason why I became Beethoven is because of myself."

There are many dukes now and there will be many in the future; but there is only one Beethoven! "

Another time, when Beethoven and Goethe were walking together, they ran into the queen, the prince and a group of nobles. Facing them, Goethe immediately gave way, while Beethoven said calmly: "Give way. It should be them, not us! "But Goethe still took off his top hat and stood by the roadside, while Beethoven strode forward with his hands behind his back. As a result, the prince recognized Beethoven and quickly took off his top hat to greet him. His attendants also said respectfully. Standing on both sides, watching Beethoven pass by with his chest raised, Beethoven truly felt the dignity of being a human being.

When Beethoven was 54 years old, he composed the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy). He spent six years composing and revising this piece. On May 7, 1824, the Ninth Symphony was performed for the first time at the Card Theater in Vienna. Beethoven did not even look at it. He conducted the performance entirely from his own memory, and the audience burst into cheers and applauded as many as five times! Just applaud three times.

Psychological analysis of Beethoven’s self-motivated personality

From a psychological point of view, the reason why Beethoven repeatedly created brilliant works under extremely difficult circumstances. Music chapter, this has a lot to do with his self-motivated personality. The outstanding feature of his self-motivated personality is that he can quickly transform the pressure in life into self-motivation motivation and gain spiritual satisfaction through constant struggle. People with inspiring personalities are also very good at sublimating personal mental pain. They will regard every setback in life as an opportunity for personal growth, thereby tempering their personal will.

The value of Beethoven lies in his frequent frustrations in life. At all times, Beethoven will seek inner balance in music creation. For example, Beethoven composed "Für Elise" because of a broken love, "Third Symphony" ("Eroica Symphony") because of yearning for freedom, and because of deafness. Composing the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy), his music creations are full of deep feelings about life and full of passion. His biggest quote is "I want to hold the throat of fate." "He spent his whole life trying to prove to the world that he has this ability! =

Beethoven's value lies in that he always looked down upon the dignitaries and did not deliberately curry favor with them because of his humble background. In his music creation, he It also highlights his arrogance. The melodies he composed are as majestic as the stormy waves and full of personality.

A deaf man can write the most beautiful and exciting music chapters of mankind. This is the immortal legend of Beethoven's self-motivated personality. Beethoven's Struggle Story 4

German musician Beethoven is one of the most famous musicians in the history of European music. He was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770. When Beethoven was young, his father had very high expectations for him, hoping that his son would become a Mozart-like musical prodigy. When Beethoven was only 4 years old, his father put a pile of music scores in front of Beethoven. Let him play. Sometimes Beethoven's little hands were swollen from practicing and he still didn't dare to rest.

One day, the church bell had rang 12 times and Beethoven was still practicing. He had to wait. His father came back to check his music before going to bed. His mother looked at Beethoven, whose eyes were narrowed to a slit, and said to him pityingly: "My child, it's already 12 o'clock, go to bed first." "

"No, dad will beat me when he comes back later and sees me not practicing.

My mother had no choice but to hold Beethoven by the piano and cry. Soon, Beethoven fell asleep in her mother's arms, and her mother put him on the bed.

When the bell rang again, Beethoven’s alcoholic father came back, “Where’s that little brat, why don’t you practice the piano? "

"You don't look at what time it is, and you still let your child practice the piano. You want to kill him before you stop? "

Yes, you are right," Beethoven's father said as he came to Beethoven's bedside and lifted Beethoven up. No matter how hard his mother tried to stop him, he couldn't stop him.

Beethoven was playing on the piano in a daze with his eyes closed. Despite this, Beethoven's piano sound was still very smooth and natural.

"Okay, this looks a bit like Mozart." The father said happily on the side. Beethoven's Struggle Story 5

Hardships

Beethoven was born in a poor family. His father was a tenor singer who often drank heavily, and his mother was a maid.

The difficult childhood life did not allow Beethoven to enjoy the warmth of family as Mozart did when he was a child. In the beginning, everything in life was so tragic and cruel to him. His father wanted to discover his musical talent and show him off like a child prodigy. Before he was four years old, Beethoven was required to stay in front of the piano all day long. Or he was locked up at home with the violin. At a young age, he was almost overwhelmed by the heavy practice. Beethoven also once got tired of music, and his father had to use violence to force him to study.

As a boy, Beethoven took on the burden of life prematurely and began to worry about economic problems and how to earn daily bread. At the age of eleven, Beethoven joined the theater band and received a small monthly salary to subsidize the family's living expenses.

When he was seventeen years old, he lost his beloved mother. His mother died of lung disease. Beethoven thought he was also infected with the same disease. He often felt pain, which left a depression in his heart that was more cruel than the disease. This year, Beethoven became the head of the family. The father who was often an alcoholic lost his ability to run the family. At the same time, he also squandered all the family savings, so people had no choice but to hand over his father's pension to Beethoven for management. These sad facts left deep wounds on Beethoven's mind.

Childhood Beethoven was so miserable, and young Beethoven was even more miserable. After the age of twenty-five, the demon of disease began to question Beethoven and haunted him like a ghost possessing him. Between 1796 and 1800, ear diseases began to manifest themselves. Beethoven felt his ears ringing day and night, and his heart was tortured by severe pain. His hearing gradually deteriorated, and eventually he became completely deaf in both ears.

This brought a devastating blow to Beethoven's life, love and music creation life. For several years, he avoided meeting people, guarding the terrible code of deafness alone, and endured tremendous mental and physical pain.

In his later years, he was still alone. During this period, he had no source of income and was forced to seek help from friends everywhere to solve his livelihood problem. In his own words: "It's almost to the point of begging."
