• At the young age Ludwig's father tough him how to play piano even though he didn't want to.
• His father like to drink a lot. So he would pull Ludwig out of bed in the middle of the night to play for people.
• His father thought that he wasn't good enough to teach him, so Motzart tough him.
• Beethoven was only 10 years old when he was the second organists for the king.

Ludwig was inspired by his grandfather who worked as the quart organists. His father tough to him his music education.

Beethoven was always crabby, stubborn, and not fun to be around. But he was a great composer.

Everyone came to hear Beethoven's music because everyone loved it.

Ludwig loved his mother very much. It was heartbroken when she died.
He referred his mother as
"best friend"

Beethoven was at first not hearing everything. He thought it wasn't anything. But after a while he couldn't hear anything. After one of his songs everyone was clapping and someone had to turn him around so he could see them clapping.

The death of Ludwig van Beethoven on March 26 1827 followed a prolonged illness. It was witnessed by his sister-in-law and by his close friend Anselm Hüttenbrenner, who provided a vivid description of the event. Beethoven's funeral was held three days later, and the procession was witnessed by a large crowd. He was buried in the cemetery at Währing, although his remains were moved in 1888 to Vienna's Zentralfriedhof.
