This will be a 5 minute Ludwig Van Beethoven biography for those who don't know about him.
Ludwig Van Beethoven was born on December 16th 1740 in Bonn Germany. His father was Johann Van Beethoven, and his oldest sibling, (male) Maria Van Beethoven. His father (Johann) was abusive and an alcoholic. This caused Ludwig (as he grew) to have anger management. When he was in his early 20's, his ear problem (he developed the problem in his late teens) increased, leading to the age 25 (approximately) when his hearing problem was at a severe stage, he developed a condition that led to deafness. When he was in his late 30's, he had met a lady named Elise, whom he had named the famous composition, 'Fur Elise' (German for For Elise) for. It his early 40's, he had written his will and given most of his belongings to someone that is not named (in the will it said Immortal Beloved). He had also written a note to her while sick in the hospital. She was accused of cheating by Beethoven, and Beethoven (was the godfather) took possession of her son whom she had with Beethoven's brother. The name of the son was guessed to be Carl, and in history it is a fact that Carl Czerny was Beethoven's pupal, though is godson's name was Carl. People say that Carl, Immortal Beloved's son, was Carl Czerny. Though, there is no proof there was to support that theory.
Beethoven died (the date is not known) when he was 57 in 1797.
The legacy of Beethoven will live on in another soul...
