The Heiligenstadt Testament
In Heiligenstadt, a suburb of Vienna, Beethoven spent the summer of 1802 grappling with his increasing hearing loss and reflecting on his life and career. It was during this time that he wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament, a poignant letter expressing his despair over his deafness and his resolve to continue composing despite his struggles. This period marked a significant turning point in his life, as he transitioned from a socially engaged artist to a more introspective one, ultimately leading to some of his most profound works.
Beethoven probably never came close to really taking his own life. Only in his letter to his brothers - the so-called Heiligenstadt Testament - he mentions 'contemplating' it because of his frequent stomach pains and loss of hearing.He had however a large group of close friends and admirers who went out of their way to make his ailments as bearable as possible and who helped him cope with them. He never mentioned suicide as a serious consideration afterwards.

hear :apex:The Heiligenstadt testament is a letter written by Beethoven in 1824 to his brothers Carl and Johann Beethoven. How it relates...here is a section of the letter: "...You my brothers Carl and [Johann] as soon as I am dead if Dr. Schmid is still alive ask him in my name to describe my malady and attach this document to the history of my illness so that so far as possible at least the world may become reconciled with me after my death..." So that way, you sympathetically know Beethoven's reason to stay there (at Heiligenstadt) for the rest of his life.
