2 Talk a little about Beethoven. He was born on Dec. 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. He was a child prodigy who became a great composer and musician. His father died when he was only eighteen years old. From that time on he had to provide for himself and his two younger brothers. To do this, he played the viola in an orchestra. In 1792 Haydn, a famous composer at the time, saw Beethoven perform and realized he was a very talented musician. He asked him to come to Vienna, Austria with him and study under him. Beethoven did, and became a great composer. His music was filled with his own emotions which created a new style of music at the time. His Moonlight Sonata was actually written for his love of Countess Giulietta who refused to marry him. Later on in his life, Beethoven became deaf and had to compose his music entirely in his head without ever hearing a note of it himself. He died on March 26, 1827.
