Presentation

Slide 3

Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770. He was a very talented little boy. He played three musical instruments when he was only eight. He played a piano, an organ and a violin. People called him little  Wolfgang Mozart. In 1778 he went to Koln and three years later he visited Holland. His first teacher was his father. Ludwig`s grandfather was a musician, too.

Slide 4

Beethoven`s father was inspired by Mozart`s greatness. So he forced Ludwig to practice piano all night. After about 6 months of nonstop practice, Beethoven was sent to Vienna, Austria.

Slide 5

In 1787, the young Beethoven travelled to Vienna for the first time, in hopes of studying with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He arrived in Vienna on the twentieth of  April. Armed with a letter of introduction from Max Franz, whom Mozart knew, he came secretly into Mozart's home and he was brought into the room to meet his great idol. Mozart was in no mood to receive him. He agreed to take Beethoven on as a pupil, but when Beethoven returned to his flat there was an urgent telegram from his father telling him to return to Bonn by the next stage - his mother was seriously ill and doctors feared for her life.

His studying in Vienna lasted not long only about two weeks. Beethoven's mother died on the seventeenth of July, 1787, when Beethoven was 16.

IV. Заключение

T: -

Look at these projects and you will see that they were very similar. Their teachers were their fathers who were musicians as well. They both played some musical instruments, composed. They both studied with Josef  Haydn. Look at their signatures it seems to me that even they are similar. Look at their monuments in Vienna. Mozart`s monument is with and maybe light but Beethoven`s is dark and heavy. Their lives were different. Mozart had a family and was happy, Beethoven didn`t. I don`t know where this monument to Beethoven is situated but it expresses his world. Their graves are different, too: a broken candle and a heavy monument. Who is better? It is difficult to say.

Mozart and Beethoven were both composers of the 18th century classical style music era. Their melodies are balanced, symmetrical, and easy to remember. In conclusion, Mozart and Beethoven had a great influence of the change of music in the 18th century. They played, conducted, and composed music from their hearts. They made people happy and entertained. They opened up a doorway to musical expression.  Listen to Mozart and Beethoven`s music and guess whose music you are listening to.
