Beethoven Duck
Ludwig van Beethoven was born on December 17, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. At the age of seven, he had his first public performance as a pianist. At 16, he visited Vienna for the first time to study. Five years later, he settled permanently in this city. He puts several sponsors and takes lessons with Joseph Haydn. He was famous both as a piano virtuoso and as a composer. From 1798, he suffered from a hearing loss and became almost completely deaf at the end of his life. As a result, he ceased to appear as a pianist. In December 1826, he suffered from pneumonia. Shortly after his recovery, he died in Vienna on March 26, 1827, of fluid retention, jaundice and cirrhosis of the liver. He is now buried at the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna. He is considered one of the most important figures in the transformation of musical classicism into romanticism. Famous works include the opera Fidelio, the Mass in C major and his ninth symphony (“Ode to joy”).
