u BEETHOVEN, whose name is familiar
n to almost all people except lovers
of modern popular music, was a
German, who lived over century ago
when Germany was stronger III melody
than it was in politics.
In 1770 when Beethoven was born,
music meant more to Europe than base
ball does in American today, and the
man who could compose a class A con-
certO could drop around to breakfast
with kings and empeTOrs almost as
freely as if he had carried a ward
election. When Beethoven was 5 years
old he began to study the violin, the
piano forte, singing and composition
Later at the age of 9 he got a little
education in writing and reading but
was always a poor mathematician, sell
dom asking for change when paying Tor
his purchases. At II he was assistant
court organist and at IL was publish
ing music.
At Is Beethoven was supporting his
family with his music. He was a rough
unpublished boy, with a bad temper and
ridiculous clothes, but when he went to
the piano and began to tease heart
thrObs and day dreams out of 1t his
queer clothes were forgotten and even
conversation ceased. Still we must re-
member that this latter story may have
grown some during the last hundred
years.
Beethoven lived almost 60 years and
in that time produced about as much
music as a good right hand
comic opera composer now turns out Il,
a couple of seasons. His fame became
world wide, and when it became known
that he was about to finish a new con-
eerto there was as much suspense in
England as there Is now over the Amer
lean tariff bill. But Beethoven himself
was not happy Before he was 40 his
hearing began to fail, and in his last
years he could not hear at all. Tins
