READING COMPREHENSION.

READING COMPREHENSION.

“A Passionate Genius”

Born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany, Ludwig van Beethoven started playing the piano before
he was four years old. Clearly gifted, he had already composed his first piece of music by
the time he was twelve.

When Beethoven was just sixteen, he went to study in Vienna, Austria, then the center
of European cultural life and home to the most brilliant musicians and composers of the
period. Beethoven proved to be both a gifted pianist and an imaginative composer. He went
on to create his own unique sound and melodies loved by millions.

Beethoven is remembered not only for his great genius, but also for his strong and
difficult personality. In one infamous incident, Beethoven became so annoyed with a waiter
that he emptied a plate of food over the man’s head. He could also be quite egotistical, saying
once,

“There are and will be thousands of princes. There is only one Beethoven.” During concerts,
if people talked while he was performing, he would stop and walk out.

Despite this type of behavior, many in musical and aristocratic circles admired Beethoven,
and music lovers were always Beethoven’s greatest supporters. This fact did not prevent him
from losing his temper with one or another of them. However, because of his talent,
Beethoven’s friends always forgave his insults and moody temperament.
In addition to being difficult, Beethoven was also well-known for his eccentric behavior. He had
the odd habit of putting his head in cold water before he composed any music. He often
walked through the streets of Vienna muttering to himself and stamping his feet.
He completely neglected his personal appearance; he had wild hair, and his clothes would get
so dirty that his friends would come during the night and replace his old clothes with new
ones. What amazed his friends was that he never noticed the difference.

Beethoven wrote two famous works, Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise, for two different
women he loved. He was almost always passionately in love, often with a woman who was
already married or engaged. Although Beethoven asked several women to marry him, they all
rejected him.

The most tragic aspect of Beethoven’s life was his gradual loss of hearing, beginning in his late
twenties until he became completely deaf in his forties. However, even as his hearing grew
worse, Beethoven continued to be energetic and productive; his creative activity remained
intense, and audiences were deeply touched by his music. In 1826, Beethoven held his last
public performance of his famous Ninth Symphony. By this time, the composer was completely
deaf. When he was turned around so he could see the roaring applause that he could not hear,
Beethoven began to cry.

Beethoven died in Vienna at age fifty-seven. One out of ten people who lived in Vienna
came to his funeral. And millions of people all over the world have been enjoying his music
ever since.
