Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Considered by many to be the greatest musician ever, Ludwig van Beethoven's early life was not so great. As an adult he was frequently ill; he began having periodic hearing problems when he was 28, and by the time he was 44 he was stone-deaf. He was embarrassed by his deafness, so kept himself socially confined; he never reconciled himself with the deafness. He had to quit directing an orchestra, and about the only musical avenue left open to him was composing. Because he could not perform his compositions he was not paid a great deal, and spent the last years of his life in poverty. He was often a quarrelsome man, at outs with family members and others, and this seemed to worsen in direct proportion to his growing deafness. It is amazing that someone who grew up in the home he did, who was personally slovenly, who was often angry and quarrelsome, could have ever written the beautiful compositions he did, even when he still had his hearing!
