Why did Beethoven stop playing the piano?
It has been said that Haydn was so busy with his own work, composing such masterpieces as "The Creation," that he didn't take the time study and correct the exercises that he had assigned to Beethoven. But this opinion is based on the fact that only few of Haydn's corrections and comments are found on the exercises that have survived on paper. It is entirely possible that Haydn gave his comments to Beethoven verbally rather than in writing. So the charge that Haydn was negligent must be taken with a grain of salt. It should be remembered that Haydn and Beethoven had opposing temperaments and working habits. Haydn was always very orderly and neat, but Beethoven was disorganized and messy. Beethoven often seemed jealous of Haydn while Haydn was still active as a composer, offering Haydn due respect only after Haydn had been forced by advanced age into retirement.
