Beethoven’s life • Beethoven was born on the 16th of December in 1770, in Bonn, Germany. As a child he loved music partially because his father was a musician. At eleven years old he had a teacher by the name of C.G. Neefe and at twelve published his first music. It has been said that Beethoven became deaf from a disease called Otosclerosis (a growth of a bone in the inner ear that prevents the ear from working properly). It has been said by many of his peers that he was a man of great ideas.
His accomplishments • It has been said that Beethoven’s biggest accomplishments were his symphonies, his concertos, and his piano sonatas. Before his works came to be, there was music that was non harmonic, meaning they had no harmony what so ever, most would call it boring or repetitive.
