Beethoven's father was not well known as a musician. He was employed as a musician in the court of the Elector of Cologne, as had Beethoven's grandfather who was very talented. Neither of them achieved what would be considered fame.

Beethoven's father has achieved more notoriety through his allegedly cruel and domineering behavior towards his young son, whose talent he tried to exploit. Beethoven's father was a court musician, an alcoholic, and he tried to exploit his son's talent.
