Ludwig von Beethoven was born in a musical family in Bonn-sur-Rhine. He is a great German composer and one of the representatives of Vienna Classical Music School.
Beethoven had a rough life and didn't build a family. At the age of twenty-six, I began to be deaf, and I was completely deaf in my later years. I can only talk to people through a conversation book. However, the lonely life did not make him silent and retired. 1789 French bourgeois revolution and progress inspired him greatly, which laid the foundation of his humanistic world view-equality of human beings, pursuit of justice and personality freedom, and hatred of feudal autocracy. He once said: "One year's freedom is much more useful to mankind than a hundred years' absolutism".
Although he came from a musical family and began to learn piano and violin at an early age, Beethoven was not a Mozart-style prodigy. His creation is not a stroke of a pen, but a tireless revision of the draft until he is satisfied. His early works have the style of Haydn and Mozart, but later he developed a completely his own form, and his works have distinct personality, which is much more developed than his predecessors. In terms of musical expression, Beethoven involved almost all musical genres at that time, which greatly improved the expressive force of the piano and made it obtain the effect of symphonic drama; It also makes symphony an important music form that directly reflects social changes.
Although Beethoven had few works in his life, he was recognized as the greatest musician in the world. The key to winning such a high reputation lies in his outstanding musical talent and passionate personality, lofty ideals and strong sense of social responsibility, indomitable will and perseverance. With a profound and keen eye, he sensitively grasped the pulse of the times and society. His works not only reflect his giant character, but also reflect the people's sufferings, struggles and hopes, so he has distinctive sociality and profound philosophy. He left eternal wealth for mankind and had a great influence on the development of world music, and was known as the "Saint of Music".
Beethoven's most important and important work is symphonic music, of which nine symphonies are the most important. These well-known works include: Symphony No.3 in E-flat major, Symphony No.5 in C-flat major, Symphony No.6 in F-flat major, Symphony No.7 in A-flat major, Symphony No.9 in D-flat minor (Ode to Joy), Overture Egmont, Overture Ke Leolin and Piano Concerto No.5 in E-flat major, Emperor. Piano Sonata No.8 in C minor, Sorrow No.0/4 in C minor, Piano Sonata No.5 in F major, and Romance No.2 in F major. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Schiller's Ode to Joy
Beethoven's Symphony No.9 in D minor, Op. 125, was completed in February 1824 and premiered in Vienna on May 7/824. Beethoven was deaf at that time and could not consider being a conductor. He is sitting in a band. At the end of the performance, the applause thundered and he was unconscious. This work is Beethoven's greatest symphony and consists of four movements: 1. Allegro is not too fast and magnificent, and there are five mysterious dimensions in the introduction, just like the chaos before the world began. Themes emerge from chaos and darkness, like lightning breaking through the sky. After the climax is the exhibition department, and the bass at the end has an apocalyptic foresight. 2. Allegro, very lively, starting from an octave, like a stepping stone. It is said that this is Beethoven's feeling of suddenly moving towards light in the dark. This kind of percussion is the main body of this fast and lively banter movement. Like adagio, this is a variation of two themes, expressing warm feelings. 4. Emergency board. The long introduction to the last movement links the themes of the three movements.
Before the choir appeared, Beethoven seemed to be "among the brilliant stars". The band made a loud noise, and then the baritone sang, "Oh, friends, don't make such painful noises again!" " The last famous chorus of this movement is based on Schiller's ode to joy. The lyrics of the last aria are: "Hug, millions of people/kiss the whole world/brothers, at the end of the stars, it is our loving and omnipotent father/ah, millions of people, can you kneel before him/can you feel him with you?" /Go to the end of the star to find him. /He must live at the end of the star.
