Great Composers - Ludwig van Beethoven - Full Documentary

Great Composers - Ludwig van Beethoven - Full Documentary
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His father, who was a singer, was his first teacher. After a while, even though he was still only a boy, Ludwig became a traveling performer, and soon, he was supporting his family.
In his early twenties, Beethoven moved to Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life. Beethoven was one of the first composers to make a living without being employed by the church or a member of the nobility. At first, he was known as a brilliant pianist. But when he was around 30 years old, Beethoven started going deaf. Even though he could no longer hear well enough to play the piano, Beethoven composed some of his best music after he was deaf!
Beethoven is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. He may be most famous for his nine symphonies, but he also wrote many other kinds of music: chamber and choral music, piano music and string quartets, and an opera.

    Factual errors noticed. Beethoven didn't live in Vienna at 17. Because his first visit to Vienna in 1787 was short lived due to his mother dying of tuberculosis. At that time, he met Mozart (or it was believed he did so) when he was 16 and it was believed Mozart said he will make a name for himself (again it is uncertain if his meeting with Mozart really happened). He didn't move to Vienna until 1792 which was nearly a year after Mozart died. He was living in Vienna since he was 21.

    @@loganfruchtman953 were those facts verified?I read several sources where it was debatable if those 2 legendary composers did meet although his meeting and teachings with Haydn were confirmed but Beethoven claimed he barely learnt a thing from Haydn.

    It is interesting and poiniant that on his deathbed Napolean said, "They expected me to be another Washington.". That Napolean recognized this and that he felt the French people naive for hoping for it shows the shallow nature of the man and the often hidden resentment and envy the corsican felt for the people who ruled Corsica in his formative years. The French people were naive to think that there could ever be more than one Cincinatus or Washington in any age. To wield absolute power is easy. To give it up when all kneel before you and offer you a crown is the hardest thing any man with a functioning ego could ever do. King George III said it best and had a head for the times. The King fully expected Washington to use his Army and unmatched popularity to Make himself King Washington. When he was told by one of his courtiers that Washington intended to return all power to Congress and return to his farm he said, " Why sir....if he does that he is the greatest man alive." It is where we get the tradition of giving Presidents dictatorial War Powers during times of conflict and why all Presidents lay it down when conflict does not exist. Napolean resented the French in his heart for many reasons and took great pleasure in ruling over them. But perhaps the reason he resented them most was that they wanted him to be like Washington and he knew he could never be so good or just and they shamed him for wanting it of him.

    There are some thrifty ways hackers and web hijackers replace genuine and original videos with forged copies. Whenever, somewhere I make a watch later video I find later that it is replaced with a non genuine copies especially in good movies and music.

    How would you rank Beethoven's symphonies? I'd go with: 1. 9th 2. 3rd 3. 5th 4. 6th 5. 7th 6. 8th 7. 4th 8. 1st 9. 2nd 9th and 3rd are so universally acclaimed, that's it's not a surprise, 9th has more of the grandeur that I find more appealing. I had a harder time picking between 5th, 6th, and 7th. 5th has absolutely legendary outer movements, so I picked it 3rd, while the 6th is strong overall with a more gentle mood when, 7th maybe has the most rousing final movement after incredible movements 1 and 2. 8th is very cleverly composed, but lacks any proper slow movement, 4th has an amazing fast part of the 1st movement, but it doesn't strike that deeply emotionally. Symphonies 1st and 2nd aren't as good as the rest, they have more classical period characteristics. Early piano sonatas by Beethoven are already very strong musically, but he truly found his very own orchestral language in the 3rd symphony. 1st has more compelling subjects than the 2nd for me. , I know you like the 2nd more.
