Composer of the Month: Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827
Beethoven was a German composer and virtuoso pianist. He was an important figure in the transitional period between the
Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most famous and influential musicians of all
time.
Ludwig gave his first public performance as a pianist when
he was eight years old. At the age of eleven he received the necessary systematic training in piano performance and composition
from Christian Gottlob Neefe, organist and court musician in Bonn. In 1792 he chose Vienna as his new residence and took lessons
from Mozart, Haydn, Albrechtsberger, Schenck and Salieri. Beethoven was acutely interested in the development of the piano.
He kept close contact with the leading piano building firms in Vienna and London and thus helped pave the way for the modern
concert grand piano. Around the year 1798 Beethoven noticed that he was suffering from a hearing disorder. He withdrew into
increasing seclusion for the public and from his few friends and was eventually left completely deaf. When the most famous
composer of the age died, about thirty thousand mourners and curious onlookers were present at the funeral procession on March
26, 1827.
