Did Beethoven ever study

Answer 1

Beethoven's first teacher was his father, an accomplished musician, who started giving him music lessons at an early age. He first played publicly at the age of seven. When he was nine, Beethoven began studying with Christian Gottlob Neefe in Bonn. He continued to study under Neefe for about seven years. It was during that period that his first compositions were published. At the age of seventeen, Beethoven traveled to Vienna, in hopes of studying with Mozart. However, it is unknown whether they ever actually met. He returned to Bonn after two weeks. At the age of twenty-two, Beethoven again traveled to Vienna, where he studied under Joseph Haydn for about two years. He received specialized instruction from other teachers, as well.
