Childhood and youth

In the winter of 1770, Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in the poor quarter of Bonna. Baptism of the baby took place on December 17th. The grandfather and father of the boy are distinguished by a singing talent, so they work in the court chapel. Children's years, the kid is difficult to call happy, because a constantly drunk father and beggar existence do not contribute to the development of talent.

Ludwig with bitterness recalls his own room, located in the attic, where there were old harpsichine and an iron bed. Johann (Dad) was often drunk to unconsciousness and beat his spouse, releasing evil. Periodically, the beatings were getting and son. Mama Maria gently loved the only surviving child, sang the baby songs and how he could the gray insane weekdays.

At an early age, Ludwig showed musical abilities that Johann immediately noticed. I envy the glory and the talent of the Amadeus Mozart, whose name is already rattling in Europe, decided to raise a similar genius from his own child. Now the life of the baby filled with the exhausting classes of playing piano and violin.

Father, finding out the gifting of the boy, made the exercise simultaneously on 5 instruments - the organ, clause, alte, violin, flute. Young Louis clock Corpel over Muizicy. The slightest errors were punished by vice and beatings. Johann invited to the son of teachers, whose lessons for the most part are inconsistent and unsystematic.

The man sought to quickly train Ludwig concert activity in the hope of fees. Johann even asked to increase the salaries at work, promising to arrange a gifted son in the Kapella. But the family did not heal well, as the money went on alcohol. At the six-year-old age, Louis dodied by the Father gives a concert in Cologne. But the received fee was tiny.

Thanks to maternal support, young genius began improvising and outline his own works. Nature generously gave the child with talent, but the development was complex and painful. Ludwig was so immersed in the melodies created in consciousness that he could not exit this state.

In 1782, the director of the court chapel is prescribed Christian Gotobu, who becomes Louis teacher. The man considered glimpses of gifts in Yunz and took his formation. Understanding that musical skills do not give full development, puts love to literature, philosophy and ancient languages. Schiller, Goethe, Shakespeare become idols of young genius. Beethoven greedily studies the works of Baha and Handel, dreaming of joint work with Mozart.

The musical capital of Europe, Vienna, the young man visited the first time in 1787, where he met Wolfgang Amadem. The famous composer, having heard the improvisation of Ludwig, was delighted. Amazed present Mozart said:

"Do not break the gaze from this boy. Once peace speaks about him. "

Beethoven agreed with a maestro about several lessons, which had to be interrupted due to the disease of the mother.

Returning to Bonn and buried the mother, the young man plunged into despair. This painful moment in the biography has adversely affected the work of the musician. The young man is forced to care for two younger brothers and tolerate the drunken feathers of the Father. The young man turned to the prince to the prince, who was appointed a family with a full 200 taler. Mocking neighbors and bullying children strongly wounded Ludwig, who said that he would get out of poverty and earn money in his own difficulty.

The talented young man found in Bonn patrons, which provided free access to musical assemblies and salons. The family of Breuning took care of Louis, who taught the music of their daughter Lorcher. The girl married Dr. Vegeler. Until the end of his life, the teacher supported friendly relations with this pair.

Music

In 1792, Beethoven went to Vienna, where hesenate friends quickly found. In order to improve the skills in instrumental music, I turned to Josef Hayidn, which my own works brought to check. Relations between the musicians were immediately not charged, since Haidna annoyed a plump student. Then the young man takes the lessons from Shenka and Albrechtsberger. The vocal letter is improving with Antonio Salieri, who introduced a young man into a circle of professional musicians and titled persons.

A year later, Ludwig Wang Beethoven creates music to "Joy Ode" written by Schiller in 1785 for the Masonic Lodge. Throughout the life of the maestro, the hymn modifies, strives for the triumphal sound of the composition. The public heard a symphony that caused a frantic delight, only in May 1824.

Soon Beethoven becomes a fashionable pianist of the vein. In 1795, a young musician's debut took place in the cabin.

Beethoven did not appreciate humor and severely said:

"I see, you still can perform an overture, I will go and write these songs."

From 1813 to 1815, there are already fewer works, as it finally loses his hearing. The brilliant mind finds a way out. Louis to "hear" music, uses a thin wooden wand.
