=﻿﻿﻿ ﻿ Ludwig Van Beethhoven =



This man is one of the most famous composers. He has written many famous songs the most recognizable is "Ode to Joy". He was born on a cold December night in the attic of a tiny house in Bonn,Germany. His father was a singer and did not provide for his family very well. HIs mother was sick most of the time, and could not stand up to his father. Little Ludwig's only friend was his grandfather, whom he was named after, they spent time togeather, when little Lugwig was 3 his Grand father had past away. Ludwig's father was sure he could create a singer out of Little Lugwig. He made the boy practice so long and he cried so much cause his father made him practice too much, and could never see his friends.

Ludwig still loved music even though his father was harsh on him. By the time he was seven he could play the violin with awesome skill. He also had a piano concert for the people of Bonn that same year. His music teacher made his father look nice. His music teacher woke Beethoven up at the middle of the night to redo some music if there was a mistake.To Ludwig's happiness he and his mother went on a journey to Holland to perform for the Dutch.It seems like a dream to spend so much time with his beloved mother and to play music without his strict teacher! When they made it back to Bonn after winning the hearts of all the people he played in Holland,he began to learn how to play the pipe organ. In just a few short months he had learned all his organ teacher had to teach him. Whenever there was a minute to spare,young beethoven was to busy composing music,sometimes for piano and sometimes for instruments of the orchestra. Finally Ludwig got a music teacher that understood his love for music. Herr Neefe even let Ludwig conduct sometimes. At first the people in the ororchestra laughed at the young boy and didnt want him to conduct them, but then they heard him rehearse and play each section of instruments, they applauded him loudly.

On Easter Sunday Herr Neefe had to go away and he wanted Ludwig to play the organ at the festival. All of the noble men of Bonn would be there. Ludwig was so nervous but as soon as his fingers touched the keys beautiful sounds started coming out. Everyone was shocked then people started whispering " his name is Beethhoven".Becsus ehe had so much talent he was sent to study with Wolfgang Mozart.If Holland was a dream the Vieanna was heaven it self. .
