Following loopy from beethovens footsteps in vienna as ive already mentioned the 2 of them was a rather restless guy he often moved in vienna and he even moved in and out of the apartment in the merc of us twice several times the house belonged to one of the talking patrons baron past. His landlord remained loyal to him even when be moved elsewhere the baron that not rent out the apartment but kept it so that the musician could return. Since b. 2 of them suffered from gastric complaints as well as for. Hearing loss he visited the spa town of heiling steps on the outskirts of vienna and hopeful for a cure he often went for a walk in this park. The building in the nearby houses vienna speed to have museum. Shows me around the rooms theyd be to have lived in in the summer of 18 or 2. It was quite unsettled he often moved why was that. He wasnt an easy tenant as his deafness progressed he composed louder and louder slamming the piano with his hand as he banged on the walls to beat time and sang loudly. And if he got to composing he had a funny habit of taking a pail of water and dumping it over his head. Open even with todays flooring that would be problematic back then the floor had even more cracks for the water to run down so his neighbors got moldy walls he. Didnt word get around among landlords here in vienna. Absolutely he always had problems finding lodgings. Thats how he used to live in the compulsive forder is that its an attempt to show what his apartment could have looked like when the harder of hearing he grew the more chaotic his life became. This valuable string instrument from a princely city is lying around. Here or scraps of food and sheet music. And the music for instance while working on the mrs so that miss he couldnt find the kitty i believe. 4 days later he discovered that his cook had wrapped the butter with the sheet music for the kid. Of course that was awful for him he needed those sheets by contrast his teacher and role model haydn was very orderly so his music lies neatly on the piano beethoven was slovenly when it came to how he dressed and how he kept his house listening to house on. Testament became famous in it the composer describes his desperate situation hes furious about becoming deaf and his isolation. That is the maze highly constat a testament is also a justification he writes about the incurable state of his ears made worse by misguided doctors he came here hoping to be healed. He was also suffering from a broken heart. But in 80 no 2 he came to highly can start to be cured. So this letter is a justification of why hes so withdrawn doesnt socialize much anymore and has become such a loner its because hes uncomfortable saying speak up i cant hear you as a musician he finds the sun bearable and he must also deal with jealous folks and enemies hes made due to his difficult temperament so this letter attempts to correct his image a bit so basically. By the way. Born here in vienna but in germany thats where he lived 20 years and thats where he took his 1st steps as a musician and composer and of course the people of are also very proud of their brave. In december 17th 70 look extern beethoven was born into a musical family in poland his grandfather was the chord music director his father was a singer and music teacher. To mark the 250th anniversary of his birth a new permanent exhibition has opened in the house where literate from beethoven was born. Just a few years before the french revolution the spirit of change was in the air. His family supported Young Beethovens musical talent he lived various instruments and worked as an organist and p. L. O. Teacher and he took an interest in the ideas of the ad litum and. The various already apparent how the french revolution men packed on beethovens life. We have this view of the french marching in and occupying the rhineland. Here a liberty pole is set up at the Market Square in bonn so beethoven was caught up in these changing times from the. Other fast with the base of the house this is his can see the instruments that compose a play. Portraits testified to the fact that beethoven was already an icon in his lifetime yet the differing portrayals underline the composers multifaceted nature. This is a portrait of a Young Beethoven circa 1900 he was around 30 years old its a completely different image than the one we normally have if we think of beethoven as an old deaf misanthrope who withdrew from society. But here he looks at us quite openly and unlike composers who came before him he doesnt wear a wig at some of his republican hairstyle signals a new era in this portrayed by horniman is well suited to helping us find a new understanding a new approach to beethoven. In. One room in the bass heavily house is devoted to the compose this every day life and work. Permanent exhibition relies on a few items that speak volumes. It was important for us to show off that is Historic House which is mainly in its original condition to its best advantage in c. A small selection of everyday objects though important ones like the desk he worked at. Or his Walking Stick or i would listen to their staged in such a way that you realize how vital they are to beethovens life. You can really see that in this vitrine which only contains a goose quill and. It helps us realize that all the music that beethoven wrote went through a goose quill. And is now preserved in one of eternity. You can also follow in bass heavens footsteps and done by taking a walking tour organized by the citizens for bass heavens association.

Here there was a circle of musicians who were very involved in these political discussions and that said gotten was their meeting place. At the front there was. It was run by a widow widow koch who also had a very attractive daughter called bet that back then all the men in bonn were attracted to her like moths to a flame. That. Dove into. Their eyes 16 stops on the base have into it in and around. For stefan i say uttering the composers lavery is a neighbor of love. By those hordes a day theres almost no music that doesnt draw on beethoven that even includes rock music when you listen to someone like the great punk icon patti smith whenever shes in bonn she always goes to the beethoven house because she says my music would be inconceivable without beethoven but so beethovens really contemporary.
