	Ludwig van Beethoven
		Beethoven's father, a tenor singer at the archbishop-elector's court, was of a rough and violent temper, not improved by his passion for drink, nor by the dire poverty under which the famnily labored.
		Van den Eeden, the court organist, and an old friend of his grandfather, taught him the organ and the pianoforte, and so rapid was Beethoven's progress that when C. Neefe succeeded to Van den Eeden's post in 1781, he was soon able to allow the boy to act as his deputy.
		Beethoven could do without sympathy, but a grounding in strict counterpoint he felt to be a dire necessity, so he continued his studies with Albrechtsberger, a mere grammarian who had the poorest opinion of him, but who could, at all events, be depended on to attend to his work.

	Ludwig Van Beethoven
		Beethoven, the son of a rather dissolute court musician, was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770.
		Beethoven's gruff humor probably owes more to Haydn as well, and by the Second Symphony, the minuet has been replaced with a weightier scherzo which is characteristic of the direction in which Beethoven's symphonic thoughts are moving.
		For all the inspiration that Beethoven was to succeeding generations of romantic composers, both in the transcendence of his music and the independence of his character, he almost completely worked within the heritage of the classical tradition.
