Ludwig van Beethoven

England

Beethoven had just one lesson in composition with Mozart before he had to return to his ailing mother. After that, he was tutored by Haydn, with whom he did not have the same rapport as Mozart. It is known that he greatly admired Mozart and would have liked to continue under his tutelage.

Beethoven's 9th symphony is known as 'the Choral'. But since you logged this question under 'Ludwig van Beethoven', you presumably already knew that!

Ludwing van Beethoven's music is slow in Fur Elise but in Moonlight Sonata though it is getting a fast beat but it has a low heavy tone and it really is slow.His moonlight sonata is strange because it goes high then low.Everybody knows that his symphonie or his pieces of art expressed his feelings wich is majestuious way to show feelungs.For exanmple Symphonie N°5 it really show us his feelings by going up then low really fast.

The score was not published until 1867, 40 years after the composer's death. The discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, affirmed that the original autographed manuscript was dated 27 April. This manuscript has been lost.

In miniseries "Strauss Family", Johann played violin as well as piano

I hear the sound of the tremble enfante.

It is merely the second part of a longer piece. Composers will often break up a very long piece into shorter sections. Sometimes a different variation on the original theme can mean a 2nd (or more) movements in a piece. For performances at times, a small group might play just the 2nd or 3rd movement from a piece for sake of time constraints - church organists have to do this all the time as seldom will any parishioner sit still for a 17 minute long piece.

The pay varies widely in symphony orchestras. Many small towns have orchestras that pay "per service" (meaning per rehearsal or performance). Larger cities generally have salaried orchestras that range in pay based on prestige and budget. A third tier orchestra (Buffalo, Oregon, North Carolina) generally pays in the $30,000-50,000 range and up to the "big five" orchestras (Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia) which have starting salaries around $110,000.

Beethoven's first ever performance was at the age of seven and a half (falsified as six to make him seem more prodigal) in Cologne playing various clavier concertos and trios. He had not yet composed anything of his own yet.

Beethoven was a child prodigy on the piano. His father exploited him, hoping to become rich as Mozart's father had done. He gradually gave up performing as his deafness made it increasingly difficult.

In 1787, Beethoven's instructor suggested that he travel to Vienna to take lessons from Mozart, who was greatly impressed by Beethoven's ability and talent. He also had lessons with Joseph Haydn which he considered were not successful and Mozarts rival, Antonio Salieri. Johann van Beethoven was an alcoholic and a bully, and responsible for Ludwigs deafness due to the beatings he served up. At around 30 years of age, Ludwig was forced to acknowledge the fact that he was almost deaf and that the problem was incurable.

Music is produced by vibrations, and deaf people can still feel different vibrations. The story is told that Beethoven cut off the legs of the piano so he could hear the vibrations of the piano. This is perhaps not necessarily true, as many pianos of the time were made with removable legs so they could be carried into the various courts of the kings and emperors for performances. Regardless, by laying the piano flat on the ground, Beethoven could distinguish the vibrations and harmonies.

Bear in mind that most of us can hear music in our heads - sometimes it can be a problem! An experienced musician does it all the time and it's not difficult for a professional composer to imagine the music and write it down. It isn't strictly necessary for a composer to use an instrument while composing, even though many like to do so.

For a composer as brilliant as Beethoven, with symphonies as complex as those he composed, hearing the music in his head would have been no difficulty whatsoever.

December 16th 1712

Without going into too much detail, Beethoven was a strict, tempermental, introverted man who focused on his work intensively. He would often go on walks in the forest for some peace, silence, and to be able to think straight. People that knew Beethoven described him as blunt, arrogant, and difficult to work with. So difficult if fact, that he would stop playing in the middle of a performance if people weren't giving him his full attention or if they were chatting during the performance. Basically, he was strict, blunt, followed his own rules, feisty, and introverted.

He didn't "record" it on any sort of media device we're used to today. His sheet music was simply passed on.

Everyone who came after him!

Prior to being beset with deafness, Beethoven did conduct his symphonies. Once his deafness became too profound, he was unable to conduct, simply because he could not hear the orchestra.

In a fight over a lady his friend, who was keen on fencing, cut it off. He then gave the ear to the lady they had been fighting over..

another theory is that he had drank a large amount of absinthe (an extremely high volume alcohol) and shot his ear off

Ludwig Van Beethoven was a famous musician despite of being deaf.

His challenges in life were:

1.) His father was an alcoholic. And Beethoven often got beat up by his father. That also triggered his deafness.

2.) Tuberculosisb killrf hid mother when he was 16.

3.) He has to take responsibility to raise up his brothers alone.

4.) he was fighting for his nephew's custody

Over his lifetime Beethoven wrote for hundreds of people by commission or out of friendship. He was paid to compose by such noblemen as Prince Lichnowsky and Prince Lobokwitz in Vienna and the Elector, Maximillian Franz in Bonn. He wrote pieces for his friends, such as the "Farewell" piano sonata for Archduke Rudolph, the "Fur Elise" for Therese Malfatti and the "Moonlight Sonata" for Giulietta Giuccardi.

Maria Margaretha Josepha was one of Ludwig van Beethoven's sisters who died in infancy (in total 4 of his siblings died soon after birth). His brother Carl and Johann were his only surviving siblings.

Beethoven was very religious, although not in the usual sense. He never attended church, nor followed any of the church customs. But he believed in God, and that God could be seen, heard, and felt in nature. Beethoven also had a very high sense of morality.

Beethoven's father beat him if he refused to play the piano.

The Fifth Symphone was written between the years 1804 and 1808. When Beethoven wrote the Fifth Symphony, he was beginning to feel the effects of tinnitus. Letters from Beethoven to his friends in 1801 indicate he had begun experiencing ringing (tinnitus) and deafness in his ears for at least the previous three years, since around 1797 - 1798.
