Fun facts about classical music masters: Beethoven completes the Second Symphony in a small village

Born on December 16, 1770, Beethoven was born in Bonn, the Electorate of Cologne, Holy Roman Empire, and was one of the representatives of the Viennese Classical School and a composer of the European Classicism period. Music masters such as Beethoven do have some lesser-known anecdotes, so let's take a look.

One day in 1803, the Vienna Theater in Austria. A young man with some gray sideburns slowly walked to the command seat amid the applause of the audience. This is the first performance of the New Symphony he composed a year ago, and he will conduct and solo.

At this time, he was in the ascendancy of his career, but his expression was somewhat dignified, and he looked older than his actual age, and he did not see the spirit of a young man in his early thirties.

Beethoven

The young talent, Ludwig van Beethoven, had already begun to lose his hearing by this time, and last October he had a premonition that he would become completely deaf when he was hiding in the small village of Heiligenstadt on the outskirts of the city. This feeling was always tearing at his heart, you know, deafness is fatal to musicians, and he is still so young, only 32 years old.

To this end, he prepared to make a will, but before each time he started writing, the impulse to create was like a tidal wave "slapping the reef in his mind". As a result, when he struggled to finish the famous "Last Words of Herigenstato", a new musical work was also completed, which was Beethoven's Second Symphony.

Beethoven conducted and performed solo in a state of distraction, and the audience erupted into warm applause. What he didn't know was that this symphony, completed in the crash, would make him a rising star. What he didn't know was that this symphony was also a mature work of his style, and in the next twenty years, he would compose 7 symphonies in the gradual loss of hearing, and after complete deafness, really choked the throat of fate.

"Tom and Jerry" is our childhood memories, from the earliest silent version of the soundtrack of CCTV to the dialect dubbing version of the local station, but have you noticed that there is a lot of classic classical music in it? For example, Johann Strauss Jr.'s "Bat Overture", which is also a must-have piece for major concerts, is so highly sung that it can be compared with his other work, "The Blue Danube", which everyone on earth has heard.

One day in 1874, it was at the Vienna Theater in Austria. This time it was a middle-aged man with some gray sideburns, and in the applause of the audience, he took three steps and made two steps, jumping briskly into the command seat. It was his first operetta based on the comedy Chinese New Year's Eve Night by French playwrights Merac and La Alevi.

Little Johann Strauss has reached the year of "knowing the destiny of heaven" at this time, and has long been famous in the world, his father Johann Strauss is the "father of the round dance", he not only inherits the father's business, does not disgrace the father, but also becomes the "king of the round dance".

He stole music in between conductions, but the audience wouldn't find out, because the work itself was joyful. What people don't know is that the song "Blue Danube", which inspired all of Austria after the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War 20 years ago, was written on a dirty autumn pants.

If his wife had not rescued the score from the laundry woman in time, would he still be called the "King of The Round Dance"? Inspiration is fleeting, and there is only one chance, and it will be true for the classical music masters. (Zihua)
