"That's right! This man is the musical giant - Beethoven! Beethoven's Inspiring Stories 3
On December 16, 1770, Bonn, a small city on the Rhine River in Germany, started its day as usual. Life: The orchestra is holding a concert in the palace of the Elector (the Margrave who is eligible to be elected as the German Emperor); singing is echoing in the theater and the salon of the nobles; this is a city with a very strong musical atmosphere in the lower class. On Christmas Eve, people were working hard to make a living.
On this day, a boy was born in the house of a court singer named Beethoven in the city. Crying at the top of his voice seemed to announce his arrival to the world. The birth of the child brought joy to the family. The child's grandfather Ludwig had a kind face and said happily to his son John: "Let this child be called Ludwig after me."
The grandfather who named his grandson must not have thought that the name Ludwig van Beethoven would actually conquer Europe. Conquered the world, joined the ranks of the world's great musicians, and became a world cultural celebrity.
Beethoven's grandfather was originally from Belgium (also said to be Dutch) and came to Bonn when he was 20 years old. , and then settled down. He worked as a singer in the court orchestra and became the orchestra's leader in his later years. He was an outstanding figure in the Beethoven family. Beethoven's father John was also a singer in the court orchestra. He was a mediocre person who liked to drink. He would yell at his wife every time he got drunk, which made the family lack a harmonious atmosphere. It is said that Beethoven's mother came from a well-known family and remarried John in poverty every day. Despite the torture, she silently took care of the housework. She was a gentle, kind and capable woman.
After all, she came from a musical family, and maybe she had some genetics. Beethoven, who had just started to learn English, liked to listen to the piano. Whenever his grandfather played the piano, he would listen attentively without crying or making noises, and became Ludwig's little "close friend".
The good times did not last long, and Beethoven had just passed his third birthday. On his birthday, his grandfather died of illness on December 24, 1773. Little Beethoven didn't quite understand what death was, but he knew that his kind old grandfather could no longer buy him food or give him food. He played the piano and loved him as much as before. Until many years later, he still spoke of his grandfather with reverence and always kept a photo of him beside him.
After his grandfather died, the family only had one source of income. Relying on John's meager salary, although Beethoven's mother tried hard to save money, life was getting worse and worse for a clever woman. John was also an unsatisfactory guy. He was in his 30s and had no ability but could drink. The poorer he gets, the poorer he gets. Sometimes he also wants to change his family's financial difficulties. In addition to being a court musician, he also works as a family music teacher to supplement the family income. Because of his willfulness and alcoholism, patrons often dare not use it.
When Beethoven was 4 years old, his father called him to his side one day and said to him in a rare gentle tone: "You are 4 years old this year. Mozart was like you when he was your age. He can play minuet and started composing music at the age of 5. He has become a famous musician at the age of 18 this year. He gives concerts everywhere and can earn a lot of money. "
Beethoven listened timidly, not daring to move. He could not fully understand his father's words, but his father's attitude was very kind, which already made him very satisfied. John had his own ideas, and he He lost confidence in his future and bet on his children, hoping that if he could train a child prodigy to play everywhere, he would see Beethoven as a "money tree." /p>
From then on, Beethoven was kept in the house and learned to play the piano and violin. John acted as his son's teacher. He was grumpy and too eager to achieve success, and the number of homework assigned to him every day was too much for the little Beethoven. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will beat and scold him. Beethoven is sitting on the piano stool, and he has already gone outside to play ball and hide-and-seek with the children. He hates his father, hates this old piano, and envies the old people on the street. Little friends who are running and screaming.
One day, little Beethoven took advantage of his father not being at home and begged his mother: "Mom, let me go out and play for a while. Just for a short while, I will practice the piano when I come back. "
Mother is the one who understands her children best. She was not satisfied with her husband's education methods, so she told little Beethoven: "Go and play for a while. Don't let dad know."
"
" Got it, mom. "Little Beethoven ran out like a bird out of a cage. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his drunken father as soon as he arrived on the street. John lost his temper and caught him by his ears. Back. Little Beethoven was frightened and looked at his mother for help. The mother mustered up the courage to persuade her husband: "John, the child is still young, only 4 years old..."
"What do you know?" !I am a musician, I have to do whatever I want to do. "John was both stubborn and arrogant.
Little Beethoven was forced to sit in front of the piano again, tears falling on the keys.
The neighbors couldn't stand it either, and sometimes John tried to persuade him in person not to treat the child like this, but he didn't listen. One time, he came back drunk in the middle of the night and called Beethoven out of bed to practice.
This kind of cruel practice did not make Beethoven happy. It was lucky to have an aversion to music and develop a psychological barrier. This may be a unique feature of Beethoven's personality.
When Beethoven was 8 years old, John thought that his son could make money for him. He held a piano concert in the hall of the Cologne Music School, priced at 1 gold coin per person. In order to increase the box office value and arouse the curiosity of the audience, he deliberately stated that Beethoven was 6 years old in the advertisement to achieve the impression of a child prodigy. As a result, the Cologne newspaper on March 26, 1778 published the news of "Music Concert for 6-year-old Children". This performance was quite successful. From then on, he continued to take Beethoven around to perform. After Beethoven entered elementary school. , a little free from his father's control, he had some free time in school.
His childhood is worth remembering, but Beethoven's childhood had no partners and no childhood joy. He often stood secretly in front of the window of the small attic, watching the children chasing and playing in the street. Little Beethoven wanted to play and dance freely like them, but the environment made him prematurely. Maturity. A 10-year-old child was sitting by the Rhine River, thinking, thinking... In his meditation, he forgot everything, and became in a trance. When he grew up, this kind of meditation became. His ability to endure loneliness throughout his life may be due to his childhood character. Without the innocence of a child and the family conditions for his coquettishness, he could only seek comfort from music. The green fields on the river bank, the chirping of birds in the trees, and the ringing of church bells in the distance can make him forget his sorrow and receive a fatherly care.
The Rhine River flows majestically, and it gives him a happy life. It gave Beethoven his musical talent and also gave him the poverty and loneliness of his youth... ;
