LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN---A DEAF MUSIC COMPOSER

Probably there would not be single man who has anything to do with classical music composition or piano that has not learnt the name of Beethoven. He is the landmark in the history of music. An excellence in music composition is compared with Beethoven as the ruling mark.
Born on December 16, 1770 in Bonn in Germany, Beethoven’s life was full of struggle for the music learning, and his personal life was even fuller of trouble.
Beethoven’s firs teacher was his own father, who himself was a tenor, since then he had some other teachers in Vienna where he traveled to learn more of music.
By 1793, Beethoven started receiving the hard earned good name in the field of music.
He had however a very difficult finance, rather than serving the court or church, he made his earnings by selling his notations, lessons to the students, gifts from the nobles , but the income was really hard to come and Beethoven was never able to live comfortably. His friends supported him though.
Around 1796, Beethoven started losing his hearing. But this did not hamper his music compositions; he can hear the music and compose the music by feeling the vibrations of piano.
By 1814, Beethoven was totally deaf.
His best composition The Ninth Symphony was however composed when he was losing his hearing.
As his hearing was lost, his friend would write to him in notes what they want to say, and Beethoven would write his replies. These conversations are his views about music and compositions.
Beethoven was really man of pride, he would stop playing, if he saw that his audience is not paying attention to him or chatting.
Beethoven is regarded as the greatest master of musical composition.
