He was born in the German city of Bonn, but spent most of his life in Vienna, the capital of Austria. His father, a musician in Bonn, encouraged him to play and compose music from an early age. The young Beethoven showed clear signs of being a musical genius, giving a public piano performance at the age of eight and then publishing his first musical composition when he was twelve. One of the most well-known facts about Beethoven is that he started losing his hearing in his late twenties, and later became completely deaf. Amazingly, however, this did not stop him composing. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, most composers worked for the Church or for royal courts, but Beethoven was a freelancer who sold his music to publishers and also received money for playing the piano in public concerts. As a young man he often had money problems, which became worse when his deafness stopped him playing the piano, but later in his life, after becoming very famous, he received financial support from wealthy aristocrats. Beethoven also suffered from depression, caused partly by his increasing deafness and partly by problems in his personal life for example he wasnt able to marry the woman he loved because she was already married with children. In his thirties he almost committed suicide, but after choosing not to end his life he began working harder than ever, producing wonderful pieces of music such as his Eroica symphony. Like many geniuses, Beethoven was a true eccentric. He had a lot of strange habits, such as getting washed many times a day but deliberately wearing clothes that were dirty, and he always seemed to get into arguments with people, but he also had a close group of friends all the way through his life. He had strong political beliefs. He supported the democratic ideals of the French Revolution (1789) and dedicated the Eroica to Napoleon Bonaparte, the leader of France, because it seemed he too supported those ideals. Later, however, Beethoven decided Napoleon had betrayed the revolution, so he furiously crossed out the Frenchmans name from the all the papers containing the music for that symphony.
