A sad thing I've read about Beethoven is he had a rough childhood. His father, Johann van Beethoven, was a total alcoholic bastard to his son. According to witnesses , young Ludwig would be dragged from his bed at night and forced to play, and if he didn't his father would beat him. Whenever he played poorly, Johann would verbally abuse him, calling him an embarrassment. He even went as far as occasionally locking Ludwig in a cellar. This childhood trauma could have been what developed what we call now OCD and possibly bipolar disorder. It's so sad how sometimes the most talented artists can have the most tragic backstories.
He became deaf because 1796 he had typhus. This is written in the excellent Beethoven biography written by Jan Cayers. I hope it will be translate in English soon.
I think the reason why Beethoven had such breakups with girls is that he couldn't hear anything from them which leads to miscommunication. It's just my opinion and I think it sounds logical.
Having defect hearing myself, I can confirm that it makes you very irritable and complicates everything in life. Particularly when you had excellent hearing before and you notice the difference.
The people saying Beethoven was black have good intentions, but are so tiresomely stupid. It is absolutely insane to assume that for *every* time he went outside he powdered his face, especially during his periods of depression, and that *every* portrait is faked. These people need to appreciate actual black musicians, and not insist a white man is black when he isn't.
Neue Wiener Klassik While you're on it, can you please not use the same old "Mozart portrait with curled up white wig and red coat"? it's really cliched. It's not even an authentic portrait of his. I kind of hate it cause it's really overused even though it's not authentic. Can you use other Mozart portraits like the one by Doris Stock
This is beautiful history, Ludwig Van Beethoven, I am cello deaf. Deaf cello fort Walton Florida on website. I can’t imagine how I am supposed deaf can do it play the kinds of music.
His deafness was real (particularly affecting the higher audible registers) and was truly a torment to him both in its onset and inexorable progression. Even so, he would learn to exaggerate the perception of his deafness to avoid certain tiresome social interactions. His humor was droll. And he did love macaroni and cheese, but the homemade, baked kind, not the boxed Kraft variety.
"Even so, he would learn to exaggerate the perception of his deafness to avoid certain tiresome social interactions." This is the kind of half-knowledge that is dangerous. Beethoven was deeply ashamed of his deafness and hid it from all but his closest friends. He was actually quite gregarious by nature, as he writes resulutions in his diaries such as: "To spend (...) noons and evenings with company". The notion that he would have exaggerated his deafness is outrageous. As for the macaroni... not to nitpick, but it's actually mentioned in the video that macaroni and cheese looked quite different back then. For instance, there was no sauce, it was just pasta and grated cheese. And if you must know, even the shape of macaroni was different then, being much closer to linguine than macaroni.
I agree with everything you say (and was being somewhat facetiious about the Macaroni & Cheese, a baked version of the classic Roman dish being a particular feather in my chef’s hat). To be fair to Beethoven, you are quite correct that he went to great lengths to conceal his deafness in the years of its onset (in his 20s) and rapid worsening; but it was hardly a secret in his later years, and I have perhaps taken liberties by amplifying a couple of social circumstances in which he “played” it to his advantage. There is a provocative book called ‘Beethoven’s Hair’ (in English) I read a few years ago which suggests, based on an analysis of a lock of hair believed to have been clipped at his deathbed, and judged more likely than not to be genuine, that Beethoven’s lifelong ownership of a ‘bad’ set of dinnerware, and the leaching of lead into his food intake, may have been the primary causal factor of his hearing loss. We can’t of course know with any certaintly, but it is a fascinating thesis.
I read it was plumbed wine, cheap wine that was made to taste better with lead. Macaroni and cheese and poached pollock. In at least one instance, hair was that of a goat; Beethoven's trick on a groupie.

She's wrong as always technically she is right but it was not Kraft Velveeta Stouffer's macaroni and cheese it was fresh made itilian pasta with grated imported parmesan cheese which was a delicacy and very expensive in Beethoven's time
the narrator's accent is so beautiful
Yes. I like to listen it 😊
Sadly the music doesn’t allows to hear it well
Absolutely lovely!

I love Beethoven so much even I love everything about Beethoven 🥰
I'd love to see more about Beethoven's letters. I've learned so much from lectures and hearing as much as the different forms of his music as I can.

Why is her voice so nice 🤣😂
Beethoven's letters? Please!
We'll keep it in mind!
Neue Wiener Klassik PLEASE BEETHOVEN LETTERS

He always just looked for the perfect wife
Erm, not really.
Most of his lovers were of high social status and weren't allowed to marry him.
A notable example is the Countess von Deym.
Today's episode was a particular joy to make! Hope you enjoy :)
Neue Wiener Klassik Me next.
But secrets are secrets... 🙉
I'd like to watch a letters video .
I did! Marvelous how serendipity brought me to your channel. I just had to subscribe. Cheers!
I love your voice and pronunciatian!
That Fur Elise may be Beethoven's most popular work says a lot of how unsophisticated most people are about music.
I love him. He’s one of my historical crushes.
Great???
GREATEST OF ALL TIME! 🤩
Mozart is the greatest of all time
I don't care and don't want to know whatever negative things said by people but my love and admiration to this person grow infinitely
Would love to see a video about his letters.
I thought Fur Elise was actually a misreading of Fur Therese. The subject Therese Malfitano
Did you ever do an episode about Beethoven's letters? And maybe throw in an episode about Mozart's letters!
I love to play für Elise on my piano, I play it everyday.
Beethoven is a God, of the muses, just graced and blessed more then anyone...
Oh! Oh! I know one!
He played the piano!!!
Every true genius has very different moods, it's shows they are really different.
I was trying to get confirmation on his complexion which your story didn't include. But I enjoyed it. Thanks.
I think i am in love with him.
Such a dark soul ♡
Madness helps for great insides, didn't always help with society ... The Great fugue is the best gimps probably on what was inside him...
Interesting video
Hates people, loves macaroni and cheese, great sense of humor and no time for hoes and is a musical genius. ......this man was far beyond his time.
