Beethoven（貝多芬）was born in a small city near the Rhine in Germany. His father always drank wine and his mother was a maid(女仆). They lived a very poor life.

Beethoven was a talented child in music. People at that time thought he was as clever as Mozart（莫扎特）. His father wanted to make money from his talent, so he told him to practice and play all the time. If he did not do that, his father would be angry with him and beat him.

Beethoven was very short and ugly. People always laughed at him. He couldn’t hear well from the age of 22 and later heard nothing, but all these unhappy things didn’t make him dislike music. He began to write sonatas(奏鳴曲), and later he became a great musician.

His life was so short that he didn’t leave many works(作品). But people thought he was one of the best musicians in the world.
