Ludwig van Beethoven

The Elizabethan era was the Elizabethan era. It was the time when England became Protestant and the Renaissance became established in England. The Romantic era extended into the Victorian Era. They were two different Queens and two different eras.

A lot of people simply couldn't accept how great yet concealed he was. A lot of people thought he looked crazy. There is no definite answer to this question I'm afraid.

sinfonia

Mozart gave Beethoven just one lesson in composition before Beethoven had to return to his ailing mother in Bonn.

Fur Elise is one of the most popular.

Also moonlight serenade in a minor

A "masterpiece" can be defined as a great and complex work, with many subtle undertones. Whilst Fur Elise is a pretty little bagatelle, it hardly qualifies as a "masterpiece". There is also no "Moonlight serenade", but rather, the "moonlight Sonata", which is also a lovely piece, but not at all complex as it is just for the piano, and has an easily identifiable melody.

Beethoven's masterpieces would certainly be his 5th and his 9th symphonies. Both of these orchestral works have depth and passion, the sign of true masterpieces.

I think what you are referring to is in 1787, Beethoven travelled to Vienna to study with Vienna. After listening to him, Mozart said: "Watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about."

The chorale finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was based on what is commonly called "Ode to Joy". Penned in 1785 by the German poet, playwright and historian Friedrich Schiller, "Ode to Joy" is also knwon as An die Freude.

It was the 9th symphony. He was completely death when he wrote the piece. The Ninth Symphony in D minor, Opus 125, composed by Beethoven in 1822 to 1824, was dedicated to Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia, and first performed in Vienna on the 7th May 1824. Ignaz Schuppanzigh directed the orchestra, in the presence of Beethoven.

Beethoven wrote many works, and many of them are famous to all classical music lovers. The Moonlight Sonata, Op. 27, no. 2 and the piano piece "Fur Elise" are candidates, as are the opening movement of the 5th Symphony and the "Ode to Joy" from the 9th Symphony. It would be hard to narrow the choice among those four.

He was taught by his immediate family.

I am not sure if Priests ( Catholic) or Ministers ( Protestant) were involved, not knowing Beethoven"s religious background. The musician was known to have composed Nine symphonies- Nine clerics may have been a recognition of this fact, something like flowers spelling out say, l776 for patriotic angles.

There are many ways in which Beethoven can be seen as both a classical and romantic composer.

He is seen as classical in many respects. A quote from Charles Rosen, The Classical style reads

"Beethoven enlarged the limits of the classical style beyond the previous conceptions, but never changed its essential structure or abandoned it, as did the composers who followed him. In the other fundamental aspects of his musical language, as well as in the key relations within the single movement, Beethoven may be said to have remained within the classical framework,even while using it in radical and original ways"

His symphony no 6, Pastoral, is one of the main pieces that bridges many of the gaps between the classical and romantic era. It is classical in that it is rooted in a tonic-dominant relationship, and includes fugue, cannon and theme and variation.

However it can be seen as romantic in that it takes a lot of influence from natural and the natural world. Beethoven was coached and definitely influenced by Haydn, a renowned nature lover for a year. In the Classical period, music did not tend to pertain to this type of influence. The Pastoral symphony however is based largely around nature. It is also programmatic, a distinctive element of romantic writing.

By 1808, the time of the pastoral symphony, the romantic movement in poetry was in full swing. Instead of the standard classical 4 movements, the pastoral has 5.

The 9th symphony seems to be the main piece of writing that crosses the bridge between the classical and romantic periods, and is seen as the missing link bringing the classical period fully to an end.

Beethoven is famous for his Fifth Symphony. Legend has it that the opening notes are what Beethoven heard as a harbinger of his deafness. It is a highly passionate, emotional piece of music with an ultimate theme of victory overcoming hardship. Also, during World War II, these same opening notes were used as a signal for "V" for "Victory", being similar to the Morese Code signal for "V".

Unless it's a particularly rare and out-of-print recroding, old classical albums are only worth their weight in vinyl (basically nothing).

Beethoven's legacy to the Western World was his new musical ideas no one had tried before like adding choral voices to the orchestra in the last movement of his ninth symphony. He is also inspiring because even though he couldn't hear, he could still write music.

there is some extra info ;)
