Ludwig van Beethoven

The longest symphony ever written is Alexander Scriabin's "Preparation for the Final Mystery", realised posthumously by Alexander Nemtin who worked on it for 26 years and finished it in 1999. It lasts close to 3 hours. In the first stages of its conception and before his untimely death Scriabin imagined it to last for 7 days, accompanied by a colored light show, incense and dance.

Formally it was assumed, Havergal Brian's symphony "Gothic" was the longest lasting about 2 hours. This one you can find listed in the "Guinness Book of Records".

Beethoven's was really great at taking simple themes and transforming/changing them. He really took classical development and development sections in sonata form to a whole new level. He was a great fantastic player, but not very sociable.

Beethoven was most influenced to become a composer by the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Later, Josef Haydn also played a major part.

Beethoven's life has ended but the melodies linger on.

Beethoven was not born blind; nor did he become blind. Beethoven became deaf in his late twenties.

It is not known what Beethoven's favourite animal was, or even whether he had a favourite animal.

Beethoven's father was an alcoholic and often abused beethoven.

Beethoven had a grandfather, also named Ludwig who died when he was very young. He had a grandmother named Josepha who passed on her alcoholism to her son, Beethoven's father, Johann. Johann was a highly irresponsible father who had to be looked after by his children more than he looked after them. Beethoven's mother, Maria Magdelena died when Beethoven was 17 but was a wonderfully kind woman who Beethoven loved very much. Beethoven older brother, Ludwig Maria died before Beethoven was born. Beethoven had two younger brothers named Caspar Anton Carl and Nikolas Johann. He had more younger siblings but none of them lived to adulthood. Their names were Franz Georg, Anna Franziska and Maria Magaretha. When he was older Beethoven had a nephew (son of Caspar Carl) named Karl who he looked after once Caspar Carl had died. It was over this boy that Beethoven had a bitter custody battle with Johanna van Beethoven (Caspar Carl's widow). Beethoven never married but he had some illegitamate children named Minoa (with Josephine von Brunswick and Karl with Antoine Brentano and possible others as well.

Beethoven's greatest liturgical music is found in his Mass in D major. Beethoven is one of the world's greatest musicians of all time. Most of his music is considered classical music.

The only problem with these services is that a lot of them charge money, and these fees add up really fast. One company that I have personally tried and used for a while is called Promo Only, and they charge around $30 or so just to get your music added to their network. I know a lot of bands who used this service and were happy with it, and they got some great exposure because of it.

5 movements basically named - 1 - Awakening of happy feelings on arriving in the country. 2 - By the brook. 3 - Peasants merrymaking. 4 - The storm. 5 - Shepherd's hymn.

It depends on where you are from and under what music program you are studying.

In Canada, under the Royal Conservatory of Music, it is listed as a ARCT Performance piece, the whole sonata has to be played for examinations.

In Australia, under the Australian Music Examinations Board, the 1st movement used to be considered a grade 7 piece.

Many times a single movement of this piece is played. The first movement is quite difficult and is played only by advanced students; the second movement is slower and much simpler and is commonly played by early intermediate students; the third movement is not often played by itself, but would probably be considered intermediate in difficulty.

1st movt: Grade 8, Performance Certificate or 1st level Diploma (ATCL, ARCT or Dip. ABRSM are the main ones).

2nd movt: Grade 5/6.

3rd movt: Grade 6/7.

The whole piece is easily a 1st level Diploma.

Don't underestimate the 2nd movt however. In a 1st level Diploma exam it is largely considered as difficult as the 1st movt.

he played all string introments and the trumpet
