His father also told everyone that he was two years younger, just to make him seem more talented. Beethoven himself didn’t know his real age for much of his life.
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Salieri had said that Mozart’s music sounded like the voice of God. If Mozart was God’s Voice then, certainly, Beethoven was God’s
Johann Van Beethoven
Ludwig’s father would come home sometimes late at night, wake the boy from his sleep, and force him to practice the piano or viola until the morning church bells sounded. It is said that his sole companion was a spider who would crawl out of the corner and perch on the boy’s viola.
Beethoven was a grubby little boy, the type who always forgets to wash behind his ears. He quit school at 11 and by 16 was court organist to the elector. He was already beginning to compose small pieces and was an absolute whiz at sight reading.
Ludwig Van Beethoven was born on December 16th, 1770, in Bonn, Germany, in a little house on Bonngasse River.

His father was merely a mediocre musician, and sorry to say, a drunk.
Beethoven’s father very much wanted the boy to become a musical prodigy like Mozart. Little Beethoven started piano lessons when he was very young, in fact so small that he had to stand on the piano bench to reach the keys.
FIRE.
Of all the great composers, Beethoven was probably the one most inclined to brood. He was moody, arrogant, and often insulting. He could also be warm, affectionate and good-humored. You just had to catch him on the right day.
Mozart
Young Beethoven
In 1792, he moved to Vienna, where he was introduced to a 30-year-old Mozart. Armed with a letter of introduction from a friend, whom Mozart knew, he gained entry into Mozart's home and was ushered into the music room to meet his great idol. Mozart was in no mood to receive him. His health was plaguing him - his untimely death at the age of 35 was less than five years away - and he did not want to stop working to listen to a child prodigy from somewhere hundreds of miles away. "Play something," he told Beethoven. Beethoven played the opening of Mozart's C minor Piano Concerto. "Not that," said Mozart. "Anybody can play that. Play something of your own." Beethoven did, and when the young man had finished, Mozart walked into the adjoining room where his wife Constanze was entertaining friends. "Stanzi, Stanzi," he said, pointing back into the music room, "watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about."
You’d think that after that kind of treatment, music would be the last thing Ludwig wanted to do with his life. In spite of his father, he grew to love music, and became a skilled pianist.
