Duck Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven was born on December 17, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. At the age of seven, he had his first public performance as a pianist. At 16, he visited Vienna for the first time, to study. Five years later, he settled permanently in this city. He placed several godfathers and took lessons with Joseph Haydn. He was famous both as a piano virtuoso and as a composer. From 1798 he suffered from hearing loss and became almost completely deaf by the end of his life. As a result, he stopped appearing as a pianist. In December 1826, he fell ill with pneumonia. Shortly after his recovery, he died in Vienna on March 26, 1827, of fluid retention, jaundice and cirrhosis of the liver. He is now buried in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna. He is considered one of the most important figures in the transformation of musical classicism into romanticism. Famous works include the opera Fidelio, the Mass in C major and his ninth symphony (“Ode to Joy”).
