感情生活

贝多芬始终没有找到终生伴侣，终生未娶，但是其情感经历是相当丰富的。1800年，贝多芬被16岁的贵族小姐琪丽爱泰迷住。由于出身的天壤之别，最终他们劳燕分飞。而这一结局使当时深受耳疾烦扰的贝多芬差点为她自杀，但也因情伤为她创作了《C小调月光奏鸣曲》。1804年贝多芬与寡妇约瑟芬产生了感情，但二人最终因身份地位相差悬殊，失之交臂。

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, on December 16, 1770. About 1775, Beethoven, aged 4, was forced by his father to learn piano and violin. His father foolishly wanted to cultivate him into a Mozart prodigy by coercive means.

In 1778, 8-year-old Beethoven studied the basic theory of music and organ from H. Eden, a veteran court organist, and made his first performance on the stage on August 26 of the same year.

In 1783, Beethoven, 13, was a soloist and accompanist for the palace orchestra, but without salary. In the same year, he adapted "Piano Variations" based on Dressler's march, which was his first work officially published and published by German music publisher J. M. Gertz.

In November 1792, with the encouragement and support of Haydn and others, Beethoven, 22, left his hometown and began to learn to compose music for Haydn and settled in Vienna.
