Beethoven wrote a wide range of subjects in his life. His important works include 9 symphonies, 1 opera, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, many orchestral overtures and sonatas for violin and cello. The following is the story of Beethoven's success that I compiled. Welcome to share it.
Beethoven is Caesar in western classical music. But who knows that Beethoven suffered from ear disease at the age of 25 and was deaf at the age of 45? Beethoven's music brought endless enjoyment to future generations, but he could not enjoy his own works before his death.
Please pay attention to this natural musician
On December 6th, 177, Beethoven was born in a musical family in Bonn. He played the harpsichord when he was 4 years old, and performed on stage when he was 8 years old, and gained the reputation of a musical prodigy. At the age of 1, he studied under Niefei, the most famous music educator in Prussia. At the age of 12, he was recommended by Nie Fei to work as an organist's assistant in Count Walterstein's court band, which was the beginning of Beethoven's career as a "music servant".
At the age of 17, Beethoven visited Mozart, a great musician, and was warmly received. Mozart said excitedly after listening to Beethoven playing several piano pieces: "Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to this young man, he will win the praise of the world in the near future!" " Mozart also promised to give Beethoven lessons. Unfortunately, Beethoven's mother died suddenly two months later. In this regard, Beethoven's father was depressed and drunk all day, so Beethoven had to shoulder the burden of supporting his family and return to the original opera house as a pianist again.
At the age of 19, the great journey of France broke out, and Beethoven wrote a chorus of "Who is a Free Man" with passion to express his desire for freedom and democracy. Later, Beethoven introduced himself to the Duke of Li Xi Novsky. He admired Beethoven's talent and accepted him as a music servant. Beethoven also quickly fascinated the Viennese with his impromptu piano playing, and his music melody was sometimes like a trickle, sometimes like a stormy wave, sometimes like a bird crowing, and sometimes like a storm. Someone once commented that Beethoven's impromptu was "full of life and beauty".
I want to hold my destiny by the throat
At the age of 3, Beethoven fell in love with a countess Juliet. Chichildi, but her father thought Beethoven was from a humble background, and he just betrothed his daughter to an earl. This gave Beethoven great spiritual stimulation, and it is said that his famous song "To Alice" was written during this period.
it certainly made him sad that he was lovelorn, but what made him sadder was that his ears began to go deaf. In a letter to a friend, he wrote: "I live a miserable life ... if I do other jobs, maybe I can;" But in my business, this is the most terrible encounter! " Beethoven tried his best to treat it, but it didn't help. He moved to the countryside of Vienna to recuperate for two years. As a result, the condition did not improve, but worsened, and even the church bell across the window could not be heard.
In despair, Beethoven thought of death many times, but he was unwilling to die like this. He firmly believed that only music could save him. In a letter to a friend, he wrote: "I want to hold my fate by the throat and not let it destroy me!" " Beethoven was determined to make music for the rest of his life. From then on, an excellent pianist was missing from the Guanting Music Club in Weiyena, but an immortal composer was born in the world music scene.
Beethoven began to compose music at the age of 32. After nearly two years' hesitation and exploration, he finally created the first work with his own distinctive features-the Third Symphony (Symphony of Heroes). Its most prominent feature is that the tone is ups and downs, sometimes it is quiet and thoughtful, and sometimes it is indignant and roaring, which makes people angry. Beethoven wrote the Heroic Symphony, originally intended to be dedicated to Napoleon, but when he heard the news that Napoleon was crowned emperor in Notre Dame de Paris, he was furious and obliterated the original dedication, but changed it to "Heroic Symphony"-in memory of a great man.
There is only one Beethoven.
In October 189, the French army occupied Vienna, and the Austrian nobles, including the Duke of Li Xi Novsky, competed to flatter the occupiers. He forced Beethoven to play the piano for French officers, which made Beethoven unbearable. He picked up a stool and threw it at the Duke, and left the Earl's house that night. Leave a note before leaving, saying: "Duke, you became a duke only because of your accidental birth;" And I became Beethoven because of myself. The duke has plenty now and will have plenty in the future; Beethoven has only one! "
On another occasion, when Beethoven was walking with Goethe, he bumped into the queen, the prince and a group of nobles. Facing them, Goethe immediately gave way, while Beethoven said frankly, "They should give way, not us!" " But Goethe took off his hat and stood by the roadside, while Beethoven strode forward with his hands behind his back. As a result, the prince recognized Beethoven and quickly took off his hat to pay tribute to him. His attendants also respectfully stood on both sides and watched Beethoven pass by. At that time, Beethoven really felt the dignity of being a man.
At the age of 54, Beethoven composed the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy). It took him six years to compose and modify this piece. On May 7, 1824, the Ninth Symphony was first performed at the Viernacade Theatre. Beethoven conducted the performance himself. He neither looked at the score in front of him nor heard the slightest sound of the piano. He conducted the performance entirely from his own memory. As a result, the audience was so excited that they burst into warm applause from time to time and applauded as many as five times! And members of the royal family only applauded three times.
Psychoanalysis of Beethoven's self-motivated personality
Psychologically speaking, Beethoven has repeatedly created brilliant music chapters under extremely difficult conditions, which has a great relationship with his self-motivated personality. The outstanding feature of self-motivated personality is that it can quickly transform the stress in life into the motivation of self-motivation, and get spiritual satisfaction through constant struggle. Self-motivated people are also very good at sublimating personal mental pain, and they will regard every setback in life as an opportunity for personal growth, thus honing their will.
The value of Beethoven is that he always seeks inner balance in his music creation when he is frustrated in life. For example, Beethoven wrote "To Alice" because of his lovelorn love, the Third Symphony (Hero Symphony) because of his yearning for freedom, and the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) because of his deafness. His music creations are full of deep feelings about life and passion. His greatest famous saying is "I want to hold my destiny by the throat." He spent his whole life trying to prove to the world that he has this ability!
Beethoven's value also lies in that he always looks down on dignitaries, and doesn't try to curry favor with them because of his humble background. His pride is also highlighted in his music creation, and the melody he wrote is comparable to stormy waves, full of personality characteristics.
A deaf person can write the most beautiful and exciting music chapter of mankind, which is the immortal legend of Beethoven's self-motivated personality.

Ludwig van Beethoven (December 16, 177—March 26, 1827), a German composer and musician, was one of the representatives of the Viennese classical school.

Beethoven's influence on later generations
Beethoven's music concentrates on the artistic achievements of the predecessors, stands in the forefront of the times, embodies the heroism of Handel's music and Bach's philosophy with new quality, develops Haydn's banter, inherits the drama of Gluck's opera and Mozart's profound lyricism, thus creating his own unique musical style. Beethoven brought endless joy to all mankind through his extremely miserable music creation. His masterpieces, like a lamp tower, have made indelible contributions to the unity and progress of all mankind.
Beethoven once said: Music should spark the human spirit.
Beethoven lived between the 197s and 193s. He was a loyal practitioner of classical music and a powerful pioneer of romanticism.
Beethoven has experienced ups and downs all his life. However, his miserable and lonely life has not defeated him. He has always firmly guarded his beliefs. In the lonely and deaf situation, he stubbornly followed the proverbs of his own art and created the peak of classical and romantic music art, which is unparalleled!

(1) In the development and innovation of symphonies, he expanded the highly concentrated musical motivation and kept the whole music rigorous and unified; Expanded the development department, making it the center of gravity to contrast the internal contradictions, the publicity of power and the dramatic conflict in the works; Scherzo is introduced into the third movement of the symphony, replacing the minuet with the elegant temperament of the court; And adding human voice to the symphony expands the expressive force of the work.
(2) On piano sonatas: His 32 piano sonatas have made great contributions to the sonata structure, and at the same time, they have made great progress in piano strength comparison, dramatic factors and color changes in different sound areas, making them works with the same name as Bach's "Twelve Balanced Piano Music Collection" and outstanding contributions in the history of music.
(3) In music performance, he liberated the art of music and expressed the spiritual essence of his time. His works showed the spiritual course from struggle to victory, from darkness to light, and from suffering to joy. His melody inherits Haydn's method of motive expansion and absorbs the deep affection of Mozart's melody, which forms the characteristics of simplicity, roughness, simplicity and enthusiasm.
The sense of power and imbalance caused by frequent changes, divisions and pauses in rhythm, the gradual expansion of the unstable range of harmony and tonality, and the great fluctuation of strength. In orchestration, he attaches importance to the role of copper pipes and woodwinds, which constitutes the strong appeal of Beethoven's music and the boldness of his masterpieces. The revolutionary factor in his music and the dramatic effect of free impulse made him a master of classical music. At the same time, he was a pioneer of romantic music and inspired the composers of romantic music in the 19th century.
