Introduction to Music Beethoven: His life and times Symphony No. 5 A new era

One of Beethoven’s many dwellings. He lived in more than 70 apartments and rooms during his lifetime! This was not uncommon in 18 th C European culture.

Ca. 1799, Beethoven learned his increasing deafness was irreversible. Deep in despair, he remained in Heiligenstadt the summer and fall of 1802 contemplating suicide.

Beethoven did not succumb to this, the gravest of a musician’s ills. Instead, within months he began composing the epic and remarkably optimistic Third Symphony, the “Eroica”. It was, and still is, a giant of a masterpiece, and it is today one of the best loved orchestral works ever written.

True, it’s “van,”not the aristocratic “von,” but if someone mistakenly thinks I’m a “von” of royal blood I certainly won’t correct him. Ludwig vanBeethoven Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven, the pianist most virtuosic in Europe incomparable improviser Critics and journalists loved his playing.

Beethoven, the composer many works for piano music required piano’s improvement compositions drew mixed reactions for years journalists V/ critical referring to Symphony No. 5: “…a sort of odious meowing, and discords to shatter the least sensitive ears.”

One of numerous pianos given to Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven wrote much of his music-- many of the world’s greatest art works--in a state of TOTAL deafness.
