The Bedouin story
One day, Beethoven went to a restaurant for dinner. After ordering, a flash of music flashed through my mind, so I grabbed the menu on the dining table and began to make music on the back of the menu. After a while, he was completely immersed in the beautiful melody. The waiter didn't dare to disturb Beethoven when he saw his concentration, and planned to serve him later. About an hour later, the waiter finally came to Beethoven's side: "Sir, are you ready to serve?" Beethoven paid the bill as if he had just woken up from a dream. The waiter is a monk like Zhang Er-confused: "Sir, you haven't eaten yet!" ""no! I'm sure I've eaten. " Beethoven didn't listen to the waiter's repeated explanations at all. After paying the price on the menu, he grabbed the menu full of notes and rushed out of the restaurant. Beethoven saw a friend playing the piano when he entered China in his later years. After listening for a while, he asked, "Whose work is this?" "yours." My friend replied, mine? I wrote such a clumsy song? Then he added, "Ah, Beethoven is a fool!" Goethe's evaluation of Schiller is completely applicable to Beethoven: "He is changing and growing every week. Every time I see him, I always feel that his knowledge, knowledge and opinions are better than the last time. "At one time, Beethoven even wanted to destroy the songs he wrote when he was young, Adelaide and Septet in E flat major (Op. 20). This is by no means accidental. Like Beethoven, it can really be said that "fifty knows forty-nine mistakes." Since the death of his younger brother Carl in 18 14, Beethoven has assumed the responsibility of guardianship and raising his nephew. But the adoption process and the problems caused by his nephew afterwards made him suffer a lot. In a word, he cannot transfer his love to his nephew. Beethoven's theory about how to get along with people completely collapsed. Beethoven became more depressed, at the same time, his physical condition became more serious and his economy was very tight. At that time, he was working hard to create two major works-Solemn Mass and Ninth Symphony. In particular, when Rudolph was appointed archbishop, the first song was played for him. It took him about five years to finish it in 1823 due to his heavy responsibilities. On May 7th of the following year, his Ninth Symphony premiered, which pushed his popularity to a new peak. The chorus of "Ode to Joy" in the Ninth Symphony is taken from Schiller's poem "Ode to Joy". He had this idea in his early years and it came true at the end of 32 years. The success of the Ninth Symphony brought him the greatest glory and joy in his life. Beethoven personally directed the rehearsal of the Ninth Symphony, but due to deafness and disorder, Mrav conducted the formal performance. Beethoven is still on the stage, with his back to the audience. After the whole song was sung, the audience was deeply moved, cheered loudly and applauded like thunder, but Beethoven was unconscious. After being reminded by the performer, he saw the touching scene and answered with tears. This is Beethoven's last public appearance. He unconsciously suffered from liver disease, and his life was difficult day by day. His dying mind tends to be quiet. At this time, Beethoven seemed to be in a thin and pure sky, overlooking the world he was about to leave. He wrote five final string quartets. These chamber music are his last works and Beethoven's will to the world. Prove to the world that the spirit can overcome pain and even death. The last spring thunder sounded, and Beethoven's life was running out. Only in 1826, he had four operations, but his condition did not improve. 1on the afternoon of March 26th, 827, a snowstorm suddenly started in Vienna, accompanied by deafening spring thunder. At this time, Beethoven clenched his right fist and swallowed his last breath. Beethoven's funeral was held on March 29th, and more than 20,000 Viennese citizens took part in the escort activities to Jasseur Church where mass was held.
