Ludvig van Beethoven, it is very easy to love his music, writing about him seems infinitely more difficult to me. So many pages have been written in my music lexica that I find it difficult to find anything.

So for this piece I choose an incident that made me smile. In Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, Volume I, Kassel and Basel 1949-1951, section 1512 reads:

"Through the profession of his grandfather and father, the path of little Ludwig, whose strong musical talent was recognised early on, was also predetermined: 'Since my fourth year, music began to become the first of my youthful occupations', begins the dedication to Elector Max Friedrich of Cologne that precedes the piano sonatas published in 1783. As early as 28 March 1778, he was able to present his "son of 6 years", as it says on the dedication, to the Cologne public in his own concert. (The father is often accused of deliberately misrepresenting his age. One will judge the matter more correctly if one considers that Beethoven had just turned seven a quarter of a year earlier; therefore, there can be no question of the father having wanted to make the little boy two years younger in order to bring him close to Mozart as a child prodigy. However, it should not be forgotten that other age indications on earlier prints also consistently put Beethoven two years younger and that he himself did not know his real age at least as late as 1810, as can be seen from his own handwritten comment on the copy of his Bonn baptismal certificate). Subsequently, friends and relatives of the van Beethoven family took over his musical education."

That's quite astonishing, isn't it? If a child doesn't know his own age... What pressure little Ludwig van Beethoven must have been under if he had to experience such events surrounding him in his early youth! What a lot of peculiarities the pursuit of a "famous son" can produce!

This wonderful landscape was filmed by Christian Schlegel in Rosenlaui, Switzerland, and the video was edited by Wenjing Ma.

路德維希·范·貝多芬，愛他的音樂非常容易，但對我來說，寫關於他的文章似乎無比困難。在我的音樂百科全書中已經寫了那麼多頁，我發現很難找到新的內容。

因此，對於這部作品，我選擇了一個讓我會心一笑的事件。在《音樂的歷史與現在》，第一卷，卡塞爾和巴塞爾1949-1951年，第1512節中寫道：

“通過他祖父和父親的職業，小路德維希的道路也被預先設定，他強烈的音樂天賦很早就被認可：‘自我四歲起，音樂開始成為我青少年時期的首要職業’，這是他在1783年出版的鋼琴奏鳴曲前，獻給科隆選侯馬克斯·弗里德里希的序言。早在1778年3月28日，他就能夠在自己的音樂會上向科隆公眾展示他的‘6歲的兒子’，正如獻詞上所說。（父親常被指控故意錯報年齡。如果考慮到貝多芬剛好在一季年前滿七歲，那麼父親想要讓小男孩看起來比實際年齡小兩歲，以便將他與莫扎特作為神童相提並論的說法就不成立了。然而，不應忘記，早期印刷品上的其他年齡指示也一致地將貝多芬的年齡說小了兩歲，至少在1810年之前，他自己也不知道自己的真實年齡，這可以從他對自己波恩洗禮證明副本的手寫評注中看出）。隨後，范·貝多芬家族的朋友和親戚接管了他的音樂教育。”

這真是令人驚訝，不是嗎？如果一個孩子不知道自己的年齡……如果他在早年就必須經歷這樣的事件，小路德維希·范·貝多芬承受的壓力得有多大！追求“著名的兒子”會產生多少奇特之處！
