Ex.II
Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven was a deaf German composerand the predominant musical figure in the transitional period between theClassical and Romantic eras. Composer Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized
on December 17, 1770, in Bonn, Germany. The
greatest composer of all time, was born on or about December 16, 1770 in the
city of Bonn in the Electorate of Cologne, a principality of the Holy Roman
Empire. Although his exact date of birth is uncertain, Beethoven was baptized
on December 17, 1770. Beethoven
had two younger brothers who survived into adulthood, Caspar, born in 1774, and
Johann, born in 1776. Beethoven's mother, Maria Magdalena van Beethoven, was a
slender, genteel, and deeply moralistic woman. His father, Johann van
Beethoven, was a mediocre court singer better known for his alcoholism than any
musical ability. Beethoven's father began teaching him
music with an extraordinary rigor and brutality that affected him for the rest
of his life.
Cantata
on the Death of Emperor Joseph II. It is now considered his earliest masterpiece. In
the first spring of the new century, on April 2, 1800, Beethoven debuted his
Symphony No. 1 in C major at the Royal Imperial Theater in Vienna. In
1804, only weeks after Napoleon proclaimed himself Emperor, Beethoven debuted
his Symphony No. 3 in Napoleon's honor. despite his rapidly progressing
deafness, Beethoven continued to compose at a furious pace. From 1803-1812,
what is known as his "middle" or "heroic" period, he
composed an opera, six symphonies, four solo concerti, five string quartets,
six string sonatas, seven piano sonatas, five sets of piano variations, four
overtures, four trios, two sextets and 72 songs. The most famous among these
were symphonies No. 3-8, the "Moonlight Sonata," the
"Kreutzer" violin sonata and Fidelio, his only opera.
He was
an innovator, widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet, and
combining vocals and instruments in a new way. His personal life was marked by
a struggle against deafness, and some of his most important works were composed
during the last 10 years of his life, when he was quite unable to hear.
