If you are interested in Beethoven, here you will find some information about him.
He was a German composer and a great pianist. He was born in Bonn in 1770 and his first music teacher was his father. His personal life was marked by a struggle against deafness, and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life, when he was quite unable to hear.
He had a difficult childhood. His father was a raging alcoholic and he dreamed of turning his son into a child prodigy and cashing in on his success. Neighbours provided accounts of the small boy weeping while he played the clavier, standing atop a footstool to reach the keys, his father beating him for each mistake.
He died when he was 56. An autopsy revealed that the immediate cause of death was post-hepatitic cirrhosis of the liver. The autopsy also provided clues to the origins of his deafness. While his quick temper, chronic diarrhea and deafness are consistent with arterial disease, a competing theory traces Beethoven's deafness to contracting typhus in the summer of 1796.
