He pursued his studies, first with, but there was some clash of temperaments and Beethoven studied too with Schenk, Albrechtsberger and
1802, however, was a year of crisis for Beethoven, with his realization that the impaired hearing he had noticed for some time was incurable and sure to worsen
Fidelio , unsuccessful at its premiere, was twice revised by Beethoven and his librettists and successful in its final version of 1814
It deals not only with freedom and justice, and heroism, but also with married love, and in the character of the heroine Leonore, Beethoven's lofty, idealized image of womanhood is to be seen
With his powerful and expansive middle-period works, which include the (no.6, conjuring up his feelings about the countryside, which he loved), and , (a lyrical work) and 5 (the noble and brilliant ) and the, as well as more chamber works and piano sonatas (such as the Waldstein and the Appassionata ) Beethoven was firmly established as the greatest composer of his time

BEETHOVEN ON VINTAGE POSTCARDS by Liselotte Erlanger Glozer (This article appeared in a fuller form in the September l996 issue of 'PostcardCollector.') A British visitor to Vienna has left us a description of his firstimpression of Beethoven as '...a short, stout man with a very red face, small, piercing eyes, and bushy eyebrows, ..
It was an expression of sublimity andmelancholy combined...' This image of the dishevelled, misogynistic composer is preservedin a portrait by the contemporary painter Fassbaender (Stengel, sepia), and even more clearly in Otto Novak's signed 'fantasy' painting'Le maitre solitaire' (The Solitary Master) which shows a stocky, paunchyBeethoven striding through an autumnal landscape (published by BKW, in theirseries of Viennese Artist's cards)
Oddities among Beethoven postcard portraits include a ; a threedimensional bust portrait on a sage green background
Although Vienna has claimed Ludwig van Beethoven (l770-l827) asone of its triumvirate of famous composers he was born in Bonn, Germany.His birthplace is now a museum which, in l925 - l930, issued a series ofcards all marked and copyrighted 'Beethoven House in Bonn.'

Paul Klee e la musica
Fare pittorico ed essere musicale nell'opera di Paul Klee, un saggio di Daniela
Gamba, con immagini di alcune tele.
Il segno di fermata (o corona) compare già in uno schizzo sul quaderno di geometria del giovane Klee nel 1898, dopo le due battute d'apertura della Quinta Sinfonia di Beethoven
Sopra il pentagramma Klee si diverte a riprendere il segno di fermata trasformandolo nell'ardente e imperioso occhio di Beethoven, in una splendida caricatura umoristica che identifica un simbolo musicale con un riferimento fisiognomico-emozionale

Notes on Symphony No. 9 in D minor, "Choral" (Ludwig van Beethoven)
An analysis of his Symphony No. 9.
125 - 'Choral' (1824) Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Copyright 1996 by David Isadore Lieberman On May 7, 1824, at the Karthnerthor Theater in Vienna, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony first greeted the world
Although the performance was officially directed by Ignaz Umlauf, the theater's Kapellmeister, Beethoven shared the stage with him, turning the pages of his score and beating time for an orchestra he could not hear
This time, he instructed the singers and musicians to ignore the totally deaf Beethoven
That Vienna should have been host for the 1824 premiere of the Ninth Symphony seems only appropriate; that it very nearly was not may be a bit surprising, Beethoven had been living in Vienna for decades, he and the city had adopted one another, and it had been the site for many of the successes that shaped his reputation as the greatest of living composers
Yet Vienna, in Beethoven's day as in Mozart's, was a city of the opera, and the greatest of living composers had composed only one opera, Fidelio, which languished unperformed for many years before its 1822 revival
Now in his mid-fifties, his personal finances shaky at best, and more or less continually ill, Beethoven was only too happy to consider requests from the Philharmonic Society of London, or from the Berlin Impresario Count Bruhl, to have the Ninth premiered in one of those cities

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ludwig van Beethoven
Composer. (1770-1827)
> > > Ludwig Van Beethoven Ludwig Van Beethoven Born at Bonn, probably on 16 December, 1770; died at Vienna, 26 March, 1827
Beethoven's father was tenor singer in the court chapel of the Prince-Archbishop of Cologne, where his grandfather, a native of Holland, had for a number of years the post of musical director
When he was fifteen, Elector Maximilian, whose assistant court organist he had in the meantime become, enabled young Beethoven to visit Vienna
Beethoven soon found his way to the great contrapuntist, Albrechtsberger, through whose guidance and the private study of J.J
Beethoven's position in life at this time was probably more congenial and agreeable than was that of any contemporary or preceding master
It was probably more on account of the success of the oratorios of the latter than because he realized the sublimity of the subject that Beethoven undertook the composition of a work in this form, his 'Christ on the Mount of Olives'
When Beethoven was about thirty years old, he contracted a cold which at first impaired his hearing and at length, through neglectful treatment and his careless and irregular manner of living, resulted in almost total deafness

Overview of the development of the operatic form.
German opera had to wait till the time of Beethoven and Weber to gain international fame
Cherubini's Les Deux Journees (1800), and Pierre Gaveaux's Leonore , ou l'Amour conjugal (1798) provided examples for the classic rescue opera Fidelio (1805) by Beethoven
Similar to Beethoven’s, his eminent place in opera history is established by a single opera: Pelleas et Melisande (first performance in 1902)
