Ludwig van Beethoven

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.

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.

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."

the pathetique sonata

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.

Reposting from a different site, but accurate and succinct:

No. He never married or had children, so there are no direct descendants. He had four brothers and two sisters. Only one brother had a solitary child, Karl. Karl and his wife had four daughters and a son. The son emigrated to the United States, where he worked for the Michigan Central Railroad Company of Detroit. He married a concert pianist, Maria Nitsche. Their only son Karl Julius died childless, and thus the

Beethoven was a composer of music, not a painter.

Beethoven is best known for his nine symphonies, which have been called the cornerstones of Western civilization. The most famous two are the Fifth Symphony and the Ninth Symphony because of their grandeur. The Moonlight is best remembered for it's dream-like opening. The Pathetique, on the other hand, is a passionate and desperate work which requires that the symphony produce a loud, overwhelming sound. He was an innovator, widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet, and combining vocals and instruments in a new way. He was an innovator, widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet, and combining vocals and instruments in a new way. At the age of 7 he had his first public performance.

Beethoven had no specific goals. He composed music because his innate talent drove him to do so.

Beethoven had 32 piano sonatas.

The first thing to do is obtain the sheet music. Then, if you know how to read music, just work at it. If you do not, I would recommend getting piano lessons and learning how before attempting to play pieces at that level.

I only know of one event that happened during Beethoven's time and that was the french revolution. It happened in 1789 when Beethoven was 18.
