Ode to Joy and Choral Symphony Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was the last and greatest representative of the Vienna School. Beethoven was born on December 16, 1770 in Bonn, a small city on the Rhine River not far from the French border. His father was a tenor singer in a court orchestra, and his mother was a cook. His grandfather was the conductor of the Bonn Court Orchestra. Beethoven's musical genius has been revealed since he was a child. His father had already noticed his son's musical talent very early. In order to cultivate him into a child prodigy like Mozart, he began to force him to learn piano and violin at the age of four. At that time, he had begun to perform in concerts and try to compose music. However, the music education he received during this period had been very fragmented and unsystematic. Beethoven dropped out of school at the age of eleven and concentrated on studying music at home. At the age of twelve, he was already able to play freely and served as the assistant of the organist Nie Fei (1748-1798). At the age of thirteen, Beethoven was already employed as a harpsichord player at the Bonn Theater and officially became a professional musician. It was at this time that he began to formally study music with Nie Fei. Nie Fei was a musician with many talents. He expanded Beethoven's artistic vision, made Beethoven familiar with some excellent examples of German classical art, and consolidated Beethoven's understanding of lofty purposes. Beethoven's formal learning and systematic upbringing actually began with Nie Fei's careful teaching and training: Nie Fei also guided him to Vienna to teach Mozart in 1787. After hearing his performance, Mozart predicted that one day Beethoven would shock the world. Beethoven's creations had broad conceptions, magnificent images, deep emotions, and sharp contrasts, which made him focus on adopting and expanding sonata forms. At the same time, because of the rich and diverse images in his creations, the sonata forms used in each work have their own characteristics. Beethoven's other orchestral works include the "Violin Concerto", five piano concertos, two overtures, piano orchestra, choral fantasy, two dandies for violin and orchestra, etc. Although the three famous composers of the Viennese Classical School lived in a very close era, Beethoven's thoughts obviously did not belong to the same era as Haydn and Mozart. Haydn was humiliated throughout his life. Although he was occasionally angered, he always accepted it. The progressive literary trends and revolutionary sentiments at that time rarely excited him, and his music was always insulated from the struggle. Mozart suffered no less spiritually than Haydn. He was brave enough to resist, and would rather be poor than endure the insult of the archbishop. However, in his music, behind the joy full of sunshine and youthful vitality, you can often feel a sense of joy. A feeling of pain, melancholy and sadness. Only Beethoven not only angrily opposed the tyranny of the feudal system, but also used his music to call on people to fight for freedom and happiness. Beethoven is one of the great composers in the history of world art. His creations embody his giant-like character and reflect the progressive thoughts of that era. His image of revolutionary heroism can be expressed as "through suffering - to joy." "Through struggle - victory" is summarized. His works are both majestic and magnificent, yet extremely simple and distinctive. His music is both rich in content and easy for the audience to understand and accept. Beethoven's music reflects the pain and joy, struggle and victory of the people at that time. Therefore, its music always inspires and inspires people, and it still makes people feel familiar and inspired to this day. His nine symphonies occupy an extremely unique position among all his creations. These symphonies can be compared to a complete large-scale symphonic narrative poem - a long epic describing the life of a hero. Although there is no storyline to connect it, what it reveals is all aspects of the hero's life, activities and thoughts, that is, some of the most important life issues faced by the hero, such as: the hero and his struggle, the hero and the big picture Nature, the hero and his inner world, the hero and the people, etc. His nine symphonies are the most important part of the world cultural heritage
