Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most important figures in the history of music. He had the greatest influence on the last 150 years of music, as no other composer in history wrote such powerful and expressive music, and especially not against such great odds.
Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven was extremely talented. His father was a great lover of music, and had dreams of making his son the next Mozart. Although Beethoven was no child prodigy, he did learn to play the piano, violin and organ at a young age. By the time he reached fourteen, he was a proficient organ player and was employed to play professionally.
Sadly, Beethoven’s mother died suddenly when he was seventeen. Following this tragedy, his home life declined, and he left home in 1790 to travel to Vienna. Here, he studied composition with Haydn, but after some time he began to find Haydn’s teaching methods frustrating and he moved on to study with other composers.
Beethoven did not perform in public until he was twenty-five, but from his first performance, he became extremely popular with both the common people and the aristocracy of Vienna. He was lucky enough to become well-known at a time when the middle class were becoming more powerful, so he did not have to rely on the wealthy to offer him work. He was given many opportunities to perform publicly and this, as well as well-paid publishing deals, enabled him to live quite comfortably.
Beethoven is regarded by most musicians and composers to be the greatest symphonist that ever lived. He wrote compositions for orchestra which were revolutionary for his time. Although he followed classical musical forms, he wrote such powerful and beautiful melodies that no listener could fail to be amazed. He was the only composer whose music combined a force and elevation which has become legend. Unlike Mozart, Beethoven did not write complete pieces of music in his head, but worked hard on each composition, filling dozens of books with his effort to create perfect music.
In the early nineteenth century, just as his career was reaching its peak, Beethoven realised that he was beginning to grow deaf. This problem quickly became worse, and he became deeply depressed. He was able to perform and conduct his music less and less, and after a while, he was forced to communicate with his friends and colleagues by using a notebook. The music he wrote at this time terrified those who heard it. By 1820 Beethoven was completely deaf and he isolated himself from society. He died in 1827, full of rage at the fact that his ability to enjoy his own music had been taken away from him.
Beethoven was a wonderful composer who expressed human feelings through music in a way no one else has ever done. Today, his deep, inspiring and yet tragic music is still enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.
