Ludwig van Beethoven

BORN 19 Dec 1746, Ehrenbreitstein - DIED 17 Jul 1787, Bonn

Beethoven did not die of cirrhosis.

Some scholars claim Beethoven's death was due, in part, to lead poisoning. Tests have recently confirmed that Beethoven died as a result of lead poisoning. This was attested to by the fact that he suffered from stomach ailments for much of his life, another sign of lead poisoning.

It is not known what caused Beethoven's exposure to lead poisoning for so much of his life. There is speculation that, because he was a fairly heavy drinker, he perhaps drank from lead cups. Another alternative is that, because he had consulted so many doctors for his various ailments, lead exposure may have come from the many medical treatments he received which, in his time, were often laced with heavy metals. See the Web Link below regarding these tests.

Sir Neville Marriner has recorded this symphony on two occasions - once in 1976 and once in 1993. It is available to buy through iTunes or Amazon by searching for 'Marriner Boyce'.

Probably the Busch Quartet recording from the 50s. You can find it in EMI's Great Recording of the Century series

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart both influenced Beethoven. Beethoven was a great admirer of Mozart, but was only able to obtain one lesson in composition with him, before being called home to attend his sick mother. Haydn became his teacher after that.

I would think 12 minutes also if the timing is correct

The top most favored Beethoven song would be Fur Elise.

I have discovered documents that were written by him that says he asked people that worked with him, and even the audience.

People would tell him there favorite one and calculate it down on a piece of paper and play the top three songs in a concert that played many songs, hoping people didn't notice.

I very much hope that my research helped you out.

Have a nice day.

Beethoven's opera, Fidelio was originally titled Leonore. He wrote three overtures, each time deciding the overture was too strong to serve as a prelude to the opera. After he revised the opera and changed the title he wrote a fourth overture, this one bearing the new title, Overture to Fidelio. All four share melodic features and a similar structure. Some conductors have inserted the 3rd (and most famous) of the Leonore overtures as an intermezzo between the last scenes of the opera.

A Fifth of Beethoven was created on 1976-06-01.

Beethoven's second symphony was simply called Symphony No. 2 in D major, op.36 (1802).

The song is A minor, so you play the high E with your pinky (as your starting note) and the A minor arpeggio with your left hand.

Yes!

No. Fur Elise was composed as a Bagatelle, not a song. A Bagatelle was a short piece of music usually composed for the piano, and it did not include a vocal part.

It never really ended, it just went more underground, but I think you are referring to the Chicago gangs of the 1920's. The beginning of their end was the St. Valentines Day Massacre, which so outraged the public that huge pressure was brought upon politicians and law anforcement to crack down hard. That did not end the gangster era, but it did lame it. The death blow, however was the repeal of prohibition in 1932. The beer barons and rum runners were out of business when there was no longer any markets for them to supply.

Beethoven bridged the Classical and Romanticeras.

foolish man, kolongo perez, that's all................................. boriton

Beethoven changed the name after Napoleon declared himself emperor of France, this bothered Beethoven because it went against his liberal ideals

One of the main risks he took was composing will he was deaf
