Long ago, a boy called Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Germany. When Beethoven was young, his strict father would beat him fiercely for trivial mistakes. He was often criticised for handling the piano awkwardly. Even his teachers called him ‘a hopeless composer’. As he grew up, Beethoven did not get any support or praise from people. However, he never gave up. He tried and tried until finally he gave a brand new dimension to the conventional music. He used to say, “I always have a picture in my mind while composing, and follow its lines.” When Beethoven was at the height of his career, he completely lost his hearing. Yet, he did not give up and composed five great symphonies. Even then, people criticised his music. They said, “It is unconventional and utterly new!” However, Beethoven was unmoved and kept believing in his own compositions. He never gave up and became a famous composer of classical music. He played an important role in the transition of classical to romantic music.
