In the long history, a celebrity once walked through here. He was a famous musician who began to study music under his father's education since he was a child. Music is the language of the soul, and music is the most important thing in his life. He is the strong Beethoven.

As a child, Beethoven began to fight against fate. His father wanted to develop his musical talent and always showed him off as a child prodigy. When he was four years old, his father made him sit in front of the dulcimer all day long, or locked him in a room with a violin. His father always used violence to force Beethoven to study. Under such pressure from his father, Beethoven gradually began to join some bands, became interested in music, and no longer disliked music...

In 1796 and 1797, Beethoven played Beethoven. Reitberg's war poems were composed into two musical works: "March" and "We Are the Great German Nation". In this way, Beethoven began to use his talents to create many musical works. At this time, Beethoven became more and more aware of his ambition and felt more and more that he contained an infinite power. However, just when Beethoven began to have confidence in life, the claws of fate slowly reached out to him.

After several hardships, Beethoven never gave up on music or his dreams. He stood up on the edge of failure every time. He was strong, he worked hard, and he held onto hope for his dreams. However, a deaf disabled person stepped onto the stage and used his talent to show off his beautiful music again and again. The devil's claws could take away his hearing, but it would always take away his passion for music and his strong heart for the pursuit of life. Beethoven’s Famous Story 3

1. Childhood

Beethoven’s grandfather and father were both court singers. Most of the time, his father was drunk and never cared about the family harmony. He never even cared about whether the family had enough food and clothing. At first, the kind-hearted grandfather could save the family from too much suffering; in turn, his eldest grandson's musical talent also made the old man feel great comfort.

But when little Beethoven was only four years old, his grandfather died.

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. Soon, Pfeifer, a traveling musician with little skill, came to this town and was taken to Beethoven's house.

He and the old Beethoven often drank in a tavern outside until midnight, and then went home and dragged little Ludwig out of bed to start class. This class sometimes was not completed until dawn. In order to make him look like a child prodigy, his father lied about his age and took him out to perform a concert as a six-year-old when he was eight years old.

But there is no child prodigy in the world who is nurtured. Although he spent a lot of time, the old Beethoven was never able to cultivate his son into another young Mozart. Compared with Mozart, Beethoven's childhood was too unfortunate. Mozart received a good education in his childhood. His practice time was pleasant and quiet, and he had a loving father and a beloved sister. This was not the case with Beethoven. Although his performance won the respect of his hometown people, he was not recognized worldwide. However, his travel performances are far from astonishing as Mozart.

2. Good Teachers

The father took the boy to one teacher after another and asked him to learn different instruments and the art of composition. None of these teachers could be called good until he fell into the hands of Neefe, court luthier and manager of the Bonn Theater. This is a respected music teacher, friendly, well-educated young man.

Send Beethoven to study there, even for two or three months. In his eyes, studying is far less profitable than studying music. For the first time in his life, young Beethoven found lessons enjoyable. Mr. Nephew was very kind to him and taught him not only music but many other things in the world.

In order to pay for his tuition, Beethoven took the place of his teacher as organist when Mr. Nieffe was busy or out of town. So when he had just turned fourteen, he was appointed assistant court organist and clavichord at the theatre. How proud was the hateful and unfortunate father when he saw that his son's music had finally made some money!

3. Visit to Mozart

Around this time, he visited Vienna for the first time in his life to play for his most admired idol, Mozart. Mozart thought that the boy was just playing a virtuosic showpiece that he had long practiced for such occasions, and out of politeness he had to praise him politely but coldly.

Little Beethoven got angry and asked Mozart to give him a theme, and then he improvised variations on it with so much emotion and genius. Mozart was so surprised that he immediately ran to the door of the next room. "Pay attention to this young man," he shouted to a group of friends who were partying inside. "One day the whole world will hear his voice!"

IV. Beethoven and Haydn

Beethoven finally understood that he could not make greater progress in his hometown, so he decided to go to Vienna to seek his luck. Mozart was dead by this time, but Haydn had just won his first London victory and was at the height of his fame. When passing through Bonn, Haydn had heard and praised one of Beethoven's cantatas, so Beethoven decided to turn to Haydn to learn first.

Haydn was now well past his youth and working more diligently than ever in composing and conducting his greatest works. No wonder he didn't have much time and energy to correct papers. Moreover, he requires students to pay only 20 cents for each class. He probably feels that there is no need to spend too much time on practice papers. So Beethoven often found some uncorrected mistakes in his practice, and he was very angry.

When the old teacher set off for a second visit to London, Beethoven turned to a less gifted but strict teacher. Later he often loudly declared that he had learned nothing from Haydn.

Before long, however, he must have come to feel that, if he had gained nothing from corrective exercises, he had derived inspiration from Haydn, to whom he had dedicated his first piano sonatas. And when Haydn appeared on stage for the last time for his performance and was helped out by several of his servants, Beethoven bent down and kissed the frail old man affectionately.

5. Go his own way

Beethoven did not want to be a favorite in the living room. He would rather be in his own residence, able to come in and out, get up, dress and eat as he pleased. . He likes to mess around with trivial matters in the room according to his own interests. Once, in order to allow air circulation and see the scenery outside the window clearly, he deliberately cut off a piece of the window.

He always had disputes with landlords and kept moving. Whenever he was at the height of his creativity, he would pour basin after basin of water over his head to cool it down, until the water soaked into the rooms downstairs - one can only imagine the mood of the landlord and other tenants. !

Sometimes he moved so frequently that he didn't even bother putting the legs up on the piano and would just sit on the floor and play it. Since he had to sign a lease specifying the lease term every time he rented a new house, he often paid rent for four apartments at the same time. This is probably the reason why although he earns a lot of money, he never has much savings!

VI. Deafness

When he really felt that his ears were getting deafer, he almost despaired. Life seemed not worth living: what could be more unfortunate for a musician than not being able to hear the sweet sound he loved to hear and by which he lived! At first, only a few old friends such as Dr. Wigler and Stephan von Breuning knew about his misfortune.

He gave up going to the palaces to listen to the cheerful concerts he loved so much. He was afraid that people would notice his deafness, thinking that a musician who could not hear the sound could not write good works. No! He thought of all the music he wanted to write, "I want to grab fate by the throat!" Maybe for him, composing music when he was deaf was not as difficult as other musicians.

In his view, music is not only the use of charming sounds to arrange various themes or sound patterns, it is also a language that expresses the most profound thoughts.

7. Beethoven and his friends

No musician has so much success and so few happy days in his life as he did. His friends were kind and loyal, but his cursed deafness separated him from them. Even his hearing aids tended to fail him, so his only way to stay in touch with them was the "conversation pad" and pencil he always carried with him. He saw them talking to each other and thought they were always talking about him, speaking ill of him, and plotting against him.

One day he wrote: "Never show your face in front of me again! You are a despicable dog, a dishonest guy!" The next day, when he found out that his suspicion was wrong And when his friend was sincere, he wrote another note: "Dear friend, you are an honest man and you are right. I understand now. So come to me this afternoon and receive your bedo Finn's love." And his friends--what good people they were--always forgave his rough quarrels and stayed with him to the end.

His family life was miserable from beginning to end: he never married. When he first arrived in Vienna, he proposed to Magdalene Willman, a singer from his own hometown, but she refused because Beethoven was "too ugly." Since then, he has fallen in love with several aristocratic women - lovely women with lovely names - and he confided in them with music, but they accepted his music and rejected his love! Beethoven's Famous Story 4

After Beethoven became a master, he insisted on his innovative direction and goals.

While many people are conquered by Beethoven’s music, there are also many people who cannot understand and accept the music he composed, and naturally cannot understand and accept his creative spirit. Some conservative colleagues or laymen began to attack Beethoven.

"Beethoven's music is simply incomprehensible. What he expresses are all profound and difficult to understand. I really don't know what he is thinking?" someone said.

"Beethoven's music is too artificial, not natural at all, the melody is awkward, and it is difficult for the singer to follow such a tune." Someone else said this.

In response to these attacks, he wrote to a music magazine: "Please your commentators should be responsible for their remarks. Your remarks may have a serious misleading effect. Some promising young musicians They may be intimidated by you and change their artistic direction. As for me, I don't think I'm perfect and don't deserve any comments. It's just that your comments are really amateurish, so I have to say that you don't understand what it is. Music. "

He was not at all intimidated by the criticism and attacks from the outside world. He kept moving forward in the artistic direction he pursued, and finally reached the top and achieved great success.

A thinker does not need the appreciation or applause of others, as long as he applauds himself - this is indispensable - confidence. Celebrity Stories of Beethoven 5

In 1770 AD, Beethoven, the most revered "Music Saint" in the world, was born in Bonn, Germany. When Beethoven was a child, his family was poor and the atmosphere between the whole family was not harmonious. Because he has a father with a strong temper, selfish personality and no sense of responsibility. Beethoven's father refused to do good things all day long and only drank. Fortunately, Beethoven had a virtuous and hard-working mother. Thanks to her mother helping people with laundry and cleaning, the family's livelihood could be maintained without force. In fact, Beethoven's father was not without expertise. He was quite talented in music, but he was just not practical enough. He has a rich and magnetic voice and has been a singer in the court for a long time.

Although the salary of this job is not very generous, at least it is relatively stable, but it cannot satisfy the excessive ambition in his father's heart. Beethoven's father always complained that it was too hopeless for him to be a singer all his life. He only dreamed of becoming a rich man with a lot of wealth. However, it is easier to make money than to make money. If you don’t really have two brushes, it will be easier said than done to make big money! Besides, his father had no other talents at all except his singing voice. Therefore, Beethoven's father could neither advance nor retreat. He could never find a good way out. He was so depressed that he used alcohol to numb himself. My mother understands my father's depression very well. She often advises my father and asks him to measure his ability to do things. But my father couldn't listen at all. He firmly believed that with his sharp vision, he would be able to bring a happy life to the whole family. However, this wish could only be realized successfully if Beethoven worked hard to cooperate. What is the father who is thinking about fame and fortune all the time? It turned out that he was very envious of Mozart, who was giving concerts with his sister in Germany, Austria, Italy, France and other countries. He was a pianist who was recognized as famous when he was only eighteen years old, and his income was quite considerable! Therefore, Beethoven's father decided to train the four-year-old Beethoven to pursue a career in piano playing, because Mozart also started when he was three or four years old.

In order to satisfy his vanity, my father, who always had his own way of doing things, did not care about Beethoven’s wishes. As long as he shouted loudly: "Beethoven! Come and play the piano!" Beethoven had to obey, even if it was three times. In the middle of the night, he still had to lift the quilt and get out of bed immediately. If he was even a moment too slow, his father would bang the table and yell, then angrily burst into the room, drag Beethoven out of bed and beat him severely. In short, Beethoven has been living with worry and fear since he was a child. Late one night, Beethoven's father staggered into the house carrying a bottle of wine. At this time, Beethoven was lying on the sofa and sleeping deeply.

When my father saw that Beethoven not only did not practice hard, but was also lying down and sleeping, he became angry for a moment. His face, which was not kind enough, suddenly became more serious. He rushed to the sofa and shook Beethoven awake and shouted: "Get up!" Mozart stayed up late to practice the piano when he was a child. If you want to become a great person, don't sleep too much." Beethoven's Famous Stories 6
