We can find such a description from Mozart's biography: "Mozart showed his unique musical talent at the age of three. He not only had absolute intonation but also had an extraordinary memory. At the age of five, he asked his father to teach harpsichord, and then he hunted violin, organ and music creation. So far, his ability has resounded through the sky like a thunder. He even knows how to read, write or calculate music scores and skillfully play the rhythm. At the age of six, in 1762, he had composed three minuets (KV.2, 4 and 5) and one Allegro (KV.3). " It can be seen that his creative inspiration is congenital.
And Beethoven, we also extract a paragraph describing "Beethoven began to receive music training at an early age, and the first teacher was his father. Mozart, who could compose music at the age of six, undoubtedly set an example for Beethoven's father. In order to make his son Beethoven a child prodigy, John taught Beethoven to play the piano very early. Although this practice enabled Beethoven to perform in Cologne at the age of 8 (1778), he performed in a theater band at the age of 11, became an organist at the age of 13, and published three sonatas, but it seemed to encourage him. John sometimes even pulls Beethoven out of bed late at night and asks him to demonstrate his musical talent in front of his friends. Beethoven's attention was not enough at school. At the age of 11, he was forced to drop out of school because of his father's poor financial resources, so he should not learn much at school; Beethoven at this time is no different from other 11-year-olds. John's music education is not systematic, so some colleagues persuaded John to ask Beethoven to find another master to further explore his potential. In 1781 (1782), Beethoven studied piano and composition with the orchestra conductor Christian Gottlob Neefe, and also studied violin with Franz Anton Ries. The efforts of these new teachers made Beethoven begin to form his own unique style. Naif is a good teacher. He not only sees Beethoven's strengths, but also perceives his weaknesses: lack of self-control, self-cultivation and discipline. He asked Beethoven to study the works of his predecessors, such as Bach's collection of piano music with average law; Then there are masterpieces by contemporary musicians, such as Mozart. Although Beethoven benefited a lot in Bonn, the music resources there undoubtedly failed to satisfy him. In 1787, he decided to go to Vienna with a letter of recommendation from Max Franz (Joseph II's younger brother) and learn from Mozart. Later, the communication between the two musicians had to be interrupted by the news of Beethoven's mother's critical illness. Beethoven parted from Mozart and never met again. On May 14th, 1789, Beethoven entered Bonn University. Influenced by professor Eulogius Schneider, he got to know the ideas of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution at that time. On November 1th, Beethoven arrived in Vienna. It took him three weeks to arrange his own affairs, and then he went to Haydn's office for classes, which lasted more than a year until Haydn went to London in 1794. Haydn is old at this time, time is tight, and Beethoven is famous for his stubborn character, so it is not clear how much Beethoven learned under Haydn. "
