GROWTH ENVIRONMENT
• Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), the second-oldest child of
the court musician and tenor singer Johann van Beethoven,
was born in Bonn. Ludwig's father drilled him thoroughly with
the ambition of showcasing him as a child prodigy. Ludwig gave
his first public performance as a pianist when he was eight
years old. At the age of eleven he received the necessary
systematic training in piano performance and composition
from Christian Gottlob Neefe, organist and court musician in
Bonn. Employed as a musician in Bonn court orchestra since
1787, Beethoven was granted a paid leave of absence in the
early part of 1787 to study in Vienna under Mozart. he was
soon compelled to return to Bonn, however, and after his
mother's death had to look after the family.
• In 1792 he chose Vienna as his new residence and took
lessons from Haydn, Albrechtsberger, Schenck and Salieri. By
1795 he had earned a name for himself as a pianist of great
fantasy and verve, admired in particular for his brilliant
improvisations. Before long he was traveling in the circles of
the nobility. They offered Beethoven their patronage, and
the composer dedicated his works to them in return. By 1809
his patrons provided him with an annuity which enabled him
to live as a freelance composer without financial worries.
Beethoven was acutely interested in the development of the
piano. He kept close contact with the leading piano building
firms in Vienna and London and thus helped pave the way for
the modern concert grand piano.
• Around the year 1798 Beethoven noticed that he was
suffering from a hearing disorder. He withdrew into
increasing seclusion for the public and from his few friends
and was eventually left completely deaf. By 1820 he was
able to communicate with visitors and trusted friends only in
writing, availing himself of "conversation notebooks".
• The final years in the life of the restless bachelor (he
changed living quarters no fewer than fifty-two times)
were darkened by severe illness and by the struggle
over the guardianship of his nephew Karl, upon
whom he poured his solicitude, jealousy,
expectations and threats in an effort to shape the
boy according to his wishes. When the most famous
composer of the age died, about thirty thousand
mourners and curious onlookers were present at the
funeral procession on March 26, 1827.
• Setbacks（挫折）:
• Middle-aged deaf
• For the night to play the piano,
which has the influence on
neighborhood, thus often
moving
• His relatives treat him badly
• The sick made him often see a
doctor, so that he was tortured
to focus on creating

罗曼罗兰如此评价贝多芬的一生。
• "His life is like one day
thunderstorm days. First
morning of a bright and clean
water, only a few isolated idle
breeze, but in the still air, a faint
threat of heavy premonition,
then all of a sudden hugeshadow
volume, the solemn roar of
thunder, full of the terrible
silence of the sound. "
• “他的一生宛如一天雷
雨的日子。先是一个明
净如水的早晨，仅仅有
几阵懒懒的微风。但在
静止的空气中，已经有
隐隐的威胁，沉重的预
感。然后，突然之间巨
大的阴影卷过，悲壮的
雷吼，充满着声响的可
怖的静默。”
