Beethoven was the child of a Flamian musician family and became a
member of the electoral orchestra of Bonn in 1783. In 1787 he studied
at Mozart's in Vienna and in 1792 he moved all to Vienna becoming a
student of Joseph Haydn. The Vienna High Society loved him as a piano player
as well as as composer. In 1802 his deafness became serious making
Beethoven a real eccentric until his death in 1827.
