When Beethoven was 26 years old, he discovered that his hearing was gradually weakening. By the age of 45, his ears were completely deaf. For a musician, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow. However, the stubborn Beethoven did not succumb to the arrangement of fate, but as he himself said: "To hold the throat of fate..." He used a small wooden pole, bit one end with his teeth, and held it with his teeth. To "listen to the sound" in composing. You can imagine how much Ilya paid for all this! In May 1824, Beethoven successfully composed his immortal work "Ninth (Choral) Symphony", which he composed two years later. When the audience burst into thunderous applause, the writer had no idea. He finally defeated fate with his tenacious will and confidence and won the respect of people all over the world. A person's life belongs to ourselves, we must be responsible for ourselves, love life, use life well, and make life meaningful.
