Beethoven's Life and Music

Beethoven was born in Bonn on 17th December 1770. At that time, Germany was not a unified country, but it was a loose group of 250 states, each with its own law, military, taxation, customs (see the period map at the bottom of the page). Beethoven is from a family of music. His father, an alcoholic poor who is vulnerable to violence, is a voter of Cologne, a singer of the Archbishop Church (Bonn is the "state" of the capital). He is also a fairly discreet piano and violin teacher.

Swauford's book is not a professional study, it is a comprehensive introduction of Beethoven's lifetime and music. This is the most important Beethoven biography in the UK since the 19th century American librarian Alexander Wheelock Thayer work - the project was completed and revised by others. In his introduction, Swami declared that he liked the story of Thayer's Victorian era and devaluated the revisionism of contemporary music. He wrote, "From time to time, in the history of biography of the artist, it is time to remove the theories and attitudes accumulated over decades and to see clearly the object as much as possible." Maynard Solomon tried to place Beethoven on Freud's sofa in 1977 biography.

In order to investigate these ideas, I decided to dig down all the works of Ludwig van Beethoven. After the last semester of my college studies, he got a course called "romantic music" The music was re-recognized. Beethoven's work is particularly well-suited for this type of analysis, as Beethoven's life and work are well documented. Beethoven's lifetime is usually divided into three periods by scholars. In addition, there is at least some evidence that Beethoven knows the different key concepts of different keys and chose his key signature in consideration of their emotional attributes. Beethoven has few data points, but he has been respected as an emotional master in history because he has not published as much work as other giants like Mozart and Bach. Better
