Who wrote the famous Für Elise? Beethoven of course! Beethoven had a musical childhood, a deaf adulthood and got a lot of achievements. Beethoven had a ton of music lessons when he was young.
Beethoven's full name was Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven was born on 12/16/1770 in Bonn, Germany. His dad and grandpa were musicians too so his dad gave him his first music lessons. As Beethoven started to get older and older he went to Vienna to try to meet Mozart and study with Haydn. He published his first music after eleven years old. But then his mother was about to die so he took a break from studying and went back to Bonn to see her.
After his mom died he moved to Vienna. When he was growing up he noticed it was hard to hear. Sometime when he was a adult he got completely deaf. Even since he was deaf he still continued to conduct and make more symphonies until he died. The symphonies he wrote in his adulthood were the third to the ninth (last) symphonies. His last symphony was the famous Ode to Joy. He was rude and angry most of the times, but still had a lot of close friends. Since he didn't take good care of himself, he died at the age fifty six.
More than twenty thousand people attended his funeral probably because he was a great musician and composer. Also when Beethoven died a blinding flash of lighting struck said one of Beethoven friends. Some of the achievements he achieved was writing a lot of sonatinas and be one of the three B's to change music. His greatest achievement was to raise instrumental music.
Beethoven was a very musical boy just like Mozart. He had a happy childhood, a sad adulthood and got a lot of achievements. But the most important thing is that he is remembered in history!!!
