The Freezer

June 10th 2010

Beethoven was the first composer who never had an official court position, thus the first known freelance musician. Born in 1770, he grew up poor, but published his first work at age 12. By age 20 he was famous. He often sold the same score to six or seven different publishers simultaneously, and demanded unreasonably large fees for the simplest work. He was short, stocky, dressed badly, didn’t like to bath, lived in squalor, used crude language, openly conducted affairs with married women, and had syphilis. Beethoven was deaf when he composed his Ninth Symphony.

vee · VAH · chay . ♥: piano sonata no.14 - Beethoven

I don’t get why people think the Moonlight Sonata is by mozart.
Please. Stop.
It’s by Beethoven, it’s his Piano sonata No.14
It is not by Mozart. Just shut up if you don’t know anything.
Please, just give the guy a credit here!
Yes, I know it’s a beautiful piece and we all know Mozart…

OH MY GOD THANK YOU! AND TURKISH MARCH!

I hate it when people say Mozart’s Turkish March is Beethoven’s Turkish March. THEY’RE DIFFERENT SONGS, PEOPLE!
