Ludvier van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Elector of cologne, Holy Roman Empire.
Beethoven is one of the representatives of the Viennese Classical School and a famous composer of the European Classicism period.
Beethoven composed a wide range of themes during his life, including 9 symphonies, 1 opera, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, several orchestral overtures, violin and cello sonatas.
Beethoven made a significant contribution to classical music, the development and innovation of the structure of sonatas and symphonic suites, and was later revered as "the saint of music" and "the king of symphony".
However, these honors did not bring much happiness to Beethoven, and the great musician had a tragic life.
The source of Beethoven's misfortune was his unenterprising, drunken father.
Beethoven's grandfather and father were court singers, but his father spent most of his time drunk.
Beethoven's father himself did not seek progress, but wanted to train his son to become a genius to make money.
At first, the kind grandfather was able to protect his grandson, but when Little Beethoven was 4 years old, the amiable grandfather unfortunately died.
Young Beethoven lost his only protector, and his father often dragged Beethoven to the keyboard and forced him to sit at the piano for hours of hard work.
Whenever little Beethoven played the wrong scale, his father slapped him angrily.
Neighbors often heard a small child crying and falling asleep because of tiredness and pain.
Soon after, a traveling musician of little skill, Faifer, came to the town and was taken to Beethoven's house.
Like Beethoven the Elder, Faifel used to drink outside in a tavern until midnight, then go home and pull Little Beethoven out of bed and start classes.
The tired little Beethoven was often forced to attend classes until dawn...
Little Beethoven, who did not have a happy childhood, developed a paranoid, sensitive, and stubborn personality.
Although Beethoven was not happy at all learning the piano at an early age, he still could not stop his unique perception of music.
贝多芬在4岁时就会弹奏羽管键琴，8岁起就登台演出，并获得了音乐神童的美誉。
贝多芬在10岁的时候，他拜师于普鲁士最着名的音乐教育家聂费。
12岁的贝多芬经老师聂费的推荐，到瓦尔特斯坦伯爵的宫廷乐队充任管风琴师助手，这是贝多芬“音乐仆役”生涯的开始。
特立独行的贝多芬厌恶宫廷乐队的管束，不通人情世故的他经常得罪人。
贝多芬在17岁的时候，他去拜访音乐大师莫扎特。
在见到莫扎特之前，贝多芬是惶恐不安的，他犹豫了半天，终于敲响了莫扎特的房门。
“请进。 ”
屋内传来一阵淡淡的声音。
这时候的莫扎特正在与众多音乐家讨论音乐，对门外的来客显得有些漫不经心。
贝多芬忐忑不安地走进了房间，他的一口乡音，证明了自己从乡下来。
“莫扎特先生，我，我是来向您学习音乐的。 ”
莫扎特看着这个年轻人，他简单地询问了一下，淡淡的说道一一
“你弹几首钢琴曲子吧。”
贝多芬小心翼翼地走到钢琴旁，深深地吸了一口气，十指如跳跃的音符，在琴键上快速地舞动起来。
莫扎特在听完贝多芬弹的几首钢琴曲子后，立即显出了兴奋的神色，他激动地对屋内的众人地说一一
"Folks, notice this young man, who will soon be praised by the world!"
莫扎特答应亲自给贝多芬上课，这让年轻的贝多芬喜悦不己。
可惜这次上课只有两个月，贝多芬母亲突然去世了。
失去妻子的老贝多芬意志更加消沉，终日酗酒，不顾家计。
年轻的贝多芬不得不告别了莫扎特，挑起了养家糊口的重担，再次回到了原来的歌剧院当钢琴师。
贝多芬热爱自由，愤恨专制，他把自己的思想融入到音乐之中。
贝多芬在19岁那年，法国大革命爆发了。
得知消息的贝多芬满怀激情地写下了《谁是自由人》的合唱曲来表达他对自由与民主的渴望。
不久之后，贝多芬通过他人的介绍，认识了李希诺夫斯基公爵。
李希诺夫斯基很欣赏贝多芬的才华，他收贝多芬为音乐仆役。
贝多芬有了公爵的支持和帮助，他很快以自己的即兴钢琴奏迷住了维也纳人。
贝多芬创造的音乐旋律时而细水潺流，时而如惊涛骇浪，时而如鸟语花香，时而又如暴风骤雨。
美妙多变的音乐让维也纳人为之动容，为之疯狂。
"Beethoven's music is full of life and beauty".
贝多芬虽然在维也纳获得了巨大的声誉，但是他古板高傲的脾气一点也没有改变。
成名后的贝多芬从来不去巴结任何贵族，他总是昂着头骄傲地从他们身边走过。
贝多芬的狂傲让贵族们对他由欣赏变成了指责。
"This man is so ignorant of lifting!"
Beethoven never liked to be bound by anyone, he liked to live the life he wanted.
Once, in order to circulate the air and see the scenery outside the window, Beethoven actually cut off a piece of the window.
Beethoven was grumpy, he couldn't get along with anyone, he kept moving.
Character flaws made Beethoven out of place and made him lose a lot of good opportunities.
Once, Beethoven rented an attic, and when the landlady was working downstairs, there were always drops of water dripping down.
"Tenants upstairs, don't pour water on the ground."
The landlady looked up and shouted upstairs...
But the water droplets upstairs still kept dripping down.
The angry landlady ran to the attic, and she slammed open the door, and suddenly felt a great shock...
The landlady saw Beethoven in the attic playing the piano like crazy, and her fingers were hot, so she reached into the bucket of cold water to soak it, and then threw it dry hard, and continued to play the piano non-stop.
There was water everywhere on the floor of the attic, and the water flowed down the cracks in the ground.
This is Beethoven, a possessed lunatic.
Whenever the creation reaches its climax, Beethoven pours a bucket of cold water on his head, looking for musical inspiration.
Beethoven found musical inspiration through cold water, but the people downstairs can pour eight lifetimes of mold.
Such a tenant estimates that no landlord will like him, so Beethoven is always moving.
Because Beethoven moved so often that he did not want to put the leg of the piano on it, he simply sat on the floor and played it.
Since Beethoven had to sign a lease deed every time he rented a new house, indicating the lease period, he often paid rent for four apartments at the same time for his own convenience.
Beethoven made a lot of money after becoming famous, but he did not take money seriously at all, so that there were often financial deficits.
Beethoven never married or had children in his life, but his feelings were very rich.
贝多芬在30岁的时候，爱上了一个伯爵小姐朱丽叶. Kizardi,
朱丽叶的父亲嫌贝多芬出身低贱，硬是把女儿许配给一个伯爵。
朱丽叶无力反抗父亲，只能选择离开贝多芬。
失恋的打击让贝多芬受了极大的精神刺激，据说他的名曲《致爱丽丝》就是在这段时间内创作的。
贝多芬拥有很多女性粉丝，可她们只喜欢他的音乐，不喜欢他这个人。
孤独的贝多芬不停地寻找着终生伴侣，可是每一次都会无疾而终。
每次失恋都让贝多芬变得更加的疯狂，他把这种疯狂用于自己的音乐创作。
可是更大的不幸还在等待着贝多芬，作为音乐家的他突然之间耳聋了。
"I live a miserable life... If you want to do something else, you may be ok, but in my industry, this is the most terrible encounter! ”
这是绝望中的贝多芬写给自己朋友的信。
贝多芬为了恢复听力，他也曾竭力治疗，却无济于事。
随后，贝多芬搬到维也那乡下去疗养了两年，可是病情不但没有好转，反而更加恶化了。
到了最后，贝多芬甚至连窗口对面教堂的钟声都听不到了。
一个音乐家失去了听力，这等于被判了终生死刑。
对未来充满绝望的贝多芬多次想到了死亡......
如果当时贝多芬真的一死了之，那么他就不是贝多芬了。
"I will choke the throat of fate and not allow it to destroy me!"
听力虽然没有了，我也要坚持创作，创作不朽的传奇。
倔犟的贝多芬又站了起来，他以坚强的意志力，继续努力创作自己的音乐。
贝多芬30岁丧失听力，32岁恢复音乐创作。
After nearly two years of wandering and exploration, Beethoven finally created his first work with his own distinctive characteristics, "Symphony of Heroes").
这首交响乐旋律跌宕起伏，时而沉静凝思，时而愤慨咆哮，让听众情绪激愤。
贝多芬当初创作《英雄交响曲》时，本来想把它献给拿破仑的。
但是当他听到拿破仑在巴黎圣母院加冕称帝的消息时，立即怒不可遏，愤而涂去原来的献词，而把它改成一一
“《英雄交响曲》，为纪念一位伟大的人物而作。”
这个“伟大的人物”就是“自由与平等”。
1809年10月，法军占领了维也那，贪生怕死的奥地利贵族们争着向占领者们献媚，这其中也包括了李希诺夫斯基公爵。
投靠了法军的李希诺夫斯基公爵强迫贝多芬为法国军官弹奏钢琴曲。
贝多芬听了公爵的话，顿时火冒三丈，他操起一只凳子扔向了公爵。
贝多芬在这天晚上，离开了公爵的家。
贝多芬在临行前留下一张纸条，上面写着一一
“公爵，您所以成为一个公爵，只是由于偶然的出身所造成，而我之所以成为贝多芬，却是由于我自己。 The Duke has it now and will have it in the future; And Beethoven has only one! ”
贝多芬桀骜不驯的性格到处可见，某天他与歌德一同散步时，迎面撞见了皇后与太子，还有一群贵族们。
歌德见到他们后立刻让路，脱帽，鞠躬行礼。
贝多芬则若无其事，毫不在意。
事后他对歌德说一一
"It's them, not us, who give way!" ”
结果太子认出了贝多芬，他立即脱帽行礼，贝多芬则昂首挺胸，阔步向前。
贝多芬虽然维护了自己的尊严，但在当时的社会环境下，他显然是个不受人待见的异类。
不善理财，骄傲强硬的贝多芬两䄂清风，入不敷出。
倔犟的贝多芬不服输，他以顽强的毅力，在54岁时，创造出《第九交响曲》(《欢乐颂》)。
这部交响曲贝多芬前后用了六年时间来创作，修改这部曲子。
1824年5月7日，《第九交响曲》首次在维也那卡德剧院演奏，贝多芬亲自指挥演奏。
丧失听力的贝多芬既不看眼前的乐谱，也听不见丝毫的琴声，他凭自己的记忆来指挥这场演奏。
当这部交响曲演奏完毕，听众们兴奋若狂，不时爆发出热烈的喝采声。
观众们对这部交响乐的鼓掌次数竟多达5次，要知道当时就算是皇族成员到场，观众们也只不过鼓掌三次。
贝多芬听不见声音，但他看到了掌声，他感动地热泪盈眶。
长期以来的疲惫和贫穷折磨着贝多芬，他的身体状况一天不如一天。
On March 26, 1827, the impoverished beethoven died in Vienna at the age of 57.
A generation of "le saints" Beethoven quietly left, he went to find his own musical paradise.
In this musical paradise there is no conspiracy, no hierarchy, no hunger, only equality, only freedom, just joy.
I hope Beethoven can find the paradise on earth in his heart...
