Overview of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy's Life

Beethoven

His grandfather was originally from the Netherlands, and after moving to Germany, he was a local court musician. My father is a tenor and my mother is the daughter of a court chef.

Beethoven began to struggle with fate as soon as he was born. My father wants to develop his musical talent and always shows off that he is a child prodigy. At the age of four, his father made him sit in front of the dulcimer (an instrument similar to the piano in form and organization, a keyboard instrument before the piano appeared) all day, or locked him in a room with a violin. Father always forces him to study by violence. At the age of eleven, Beethoven joined a theater band. When he was thirteen, he became a great organist. Luckily, he finally stopped hating music.

Starting from 178 1, Beethoven studied Bach's Piano Music with Equal Rhythm and its composition method while working in the theater.

Naif is a very cultivated composer and conductor, and he tends to the Enlightenment. He contributed to the development of German national operas and oratorios.

Beethoven learned from this teacher and realized the importance of learning German folk music traditions. Under the guidance of innocence, he also accepted the influence of the Enlightenment.

Beethoven's skillful skills as a pianist left a deep impression on everyone. He is not only a successful performer, but also an excellent teacher.

He soon became a prolific composer. His works are so popular that he can easily sell them to publishers when he is about 25 years old.

Beethoven showed signs of deafness when he was nearly 30. It is conceivable that the young composer was nervous about this ominous sign. At that time, he thought of suicide.

Beethoven continued to create a large number of musical works. But with the passage of time, he paid less and less attention to the music that the music audience liked at that time. But he kept succeeding.

Beethoven was completely deaf when he was nearly 50. As a result, he stopped performing on the stage and even became more lonely and eccentric. He is not as prolific as before, and his works give people a feeling of servility. At that time, I mainly composed music for myself and some ideal future audiences. It is said that he once told a critic that his works were "not for you, but for future generations".

If the most talented composer beyond time and space has been deaf, it is better to say that fate is the most ruthless mockery; If Beethoven ignored the pain of deafness and continued to ensure the quality of his works with superhuman perseverance, it would be an inspiring and almost incredible achievement. But the fact is more unexpected than expected: in fact, Beethoven wrote music beyond the level of his early works in those years when he was completely deaf. It is generally believed that the works he created in his later years are the greatest masterpieces of his life. 1827 died in Vienna at the age of 57. Beethoven was buried in Velinger Cemetery in the northern suburb of Vienna when he died. 1828, Beethoven's good friend Schubert died and people buried Schubert here. 1888, the coffins of two musicians were moved to the central cemetery together. Now Beethoven's tomb is in the 29 th tomb in the 32 A area.

Michelangelo:

1475 was born in Caprice near Florence. His father is a local judge with a bad temper, but he fears God. When Michelangelo was six years old, his mother died. At the age of 65,438+03, he entered the studio of Florentine painter Ghirlandaio, and later transferred to the Medici College of St. Kyle Monastery as an apprentice, where he was exposed to classic works of ancient art and a large number of philosophers and scholars, resulting in the idea of worshipping the ancient. The fashionable neo-Pareto doctrine and Dominic who was burned at the stake, my father Ji Rolamo Safonarola, gave him the most important influence in his life.

From 65438 to 0496, Michelangelo came to Rome and wrote his first representative works Bacchus, Bacchus and Mourning for Christ. 150 1 year, he returned to Florence and completed the world-famous statue of David in four years. 1505 David was in Rome. He was ordered by Pope Julius II to build the Pope's mausoleum, and returned to Florence after 1506.

1508, he was ordered to return to Rome, and it took four years and five months to finish the ceiling mural of the famous Sistine Chapel. 15 13 years, the construction of the Pope's Mausoleum was resumed, and Michelangelo created the famous "Moses, Bound Slave and Dying Slave". 15 19- 1534, in Florence, he created the greatest work of his life-the group sculpture of medici family Mausoleum in the church of San Lorenzo. 1536, Michelangelo returned to Romasis Ting Church and spent nearly six years creating the great mural The Last Judgment. After that, he lived in Rome, engaged in sculpture, architecture and a little painting, until 1564 died in his studio in February.

Tolstoy:

Lev tolstoy (левниколаевичтолстой). Other works include The Landlord's Morning, Cossack and The Story of Sevastopol. He also wrote many fairy tales. He worked hard all his life and reached the peak of critical realism literature in Europe at that time. He also tried to create "the first-class works in world literature" with his powerful brushwork and superb artistic skills, so he was praised by Lenin as "a genius artist with the most vivid realism".
