Ludwig van Beethoven

The Origin of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - 1909 was released on:

USA: 2 February 1909

He was deaf and by the time he died, he was a heavy drinker suffering from liver disease.

Researchers at Argonne National Lab examined his skull to conclude that Beethoven suffered from lead poisoning which was consistent with several of his ailments and was probably what killed him. The heavy drinking was most probably a psychological coping mechanism for the symptoms of lead poisoning that ailed him so. His deafness may or may not have been caused by the lead, in rare cases deafness has been attributed to lead poisoning, but it's rare and the ANL research could not conclude that the lead caused his deafness, but it does seem somewhat reasonable that it did.

I'm not sure what his middle name is, but don't let anyone tell you his middle name is van. Van actually means "of" hence Ludwig of Beethoven's.

That would be difficult considering that The Nutcracker was written by Tchaikovsky between the years 1891-92, and that Beethoven died 64 years earlier in 1827.

You are probably thinking of Beethoven's 6th symphony. It kind of sounds like it would be in the Nutcracker. It is featured in Disney's Fantasia 1940.

It was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1786. The official name is Symphony No. 38 in D major.

Napoleon rose and fell; the Holy Roman Empire vanished from the map; and the Bastille fell

The symphony begins with three short notes followed by one long one. Three dots and a dash is the Morse code for the letter V. V is the Roman numeral for five (the Fifth Symphony) and stands for victory. All of that was just such a coincindence that it was irresistable in the popular imagination. It was also just too delicious an irony to use one of the great achievements of German culture as a symbol against the Germans.Michael Montagne

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany.

He completed it in 1808.

Perhaps his most know composition is the 5th symphony. But perhaps his greatest work was the 9th symphony because of quality, amount of notes and time and the fact he was death. On the 9th debut, he directed the orchestra being fully death and he had to be signaled to turn around. When he saw the standing ovation he wept deeply.
Ode to Joy (IMO)

This symphony was not meant to include a vocal movement. Bethoven had worked out a completely instrumental fourth movement, but threw it out and it later became the finale for the Opus 132 String Quartet in A Minor. This symphoy took more time to compose and we know this by his sketches. He sketched constantly, and took them whenever he moved, which was quite often.

The earliest conceived idea of Symphony 9 was the idea to set Schiller's Ode to Joy to music.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827

) was one of the most prolific composers of theromanticperiod.He is best known for his nine symphonies, which have been called the cornerstones of Western civilization.

he didn't have a wife because he died of led poisning but he did fall in love with a girl named Antonie Brentano.

I think it's because Eroica means Heroic, and he wanted it to be called Heroic symphony in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte, but later on he erased the dedication to Bonaparte but kept the name.

His full name was Ludwig van Beethoven.

claude monet dropped out of school when he was twelve. He was bullied for being a terrible artist and he couldn't take it anymore, he then came back to school when he was twenty

Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D Minor is also known as the "Choral Symphony" because it was the first to incorporate voice as one of the instruments.

Born in Bonn, germany, lived in Vienna, Austria.

Beethoven was never portrayed with a wig...this was because by the time he reached the age where he would have started wearing them they had gone out of fashion, except in the aristocracy (of which Beethoven was no part).

"The film was followed by four sequels. Beethoven's 2ndwas released to theaters in 1993. The remaining sequels were direct-to-video films: Beethoven's 3rd (2000), Beethoven's 4th (2001) and Beethoven's 5th (2003). An animated TV series was also created around the films that debuted in 1993. Dean Jones voiced the role of George Newton in this series after playing the villain in the film. There is also an upcoming Beethoven film set for release in 2008 called Beethoven's Big Break."

Not counting Beethoven's own father, his first teacher was Mozart (very briefly) and his second teacher was Haydn.

No, Beethoven was forced to look after his two brothers when his mother died, but only because they were younger than him. In later life, his brother Carl contracted tuberculosis and so he looked after him until his death shortly thereafter. The death of his brother, Carl, is said to have affected his mental health and his ability to compose music, however this is just a theory.
