Prologue to Beethoven The Unversal Composer


Beethoven is known at an early age in his life as a musical genius but how many know anything of his if you like to call it regular life? However, it was not until his early forties that he was considered the most famous composer of his time. What established Beethoven as the crème de le crème was his innate ability to expound on the human emotion and beyond life, love and death. Great example Beethoven’s fifth symphony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c4x0yuKpeY like the fifth Beethoven life had some very sharp contrast as we shall see and challenge to explain. Issues that arose in his life were sexual, social, political, psychotic, loneliness, and illness; something that would probably break the average person today but he prevailed.
