Ludwig van Beethoven was baptised on December 17th 1770 at Bonn.
His family originated from Brabant, in Belgium. His father was a musician at the Court of Bonn.
His mother was always described as a gentle, retiring woman, with a warm heart.
The Beethoven family consist of seven children though only three of the boys survived ,the eldest of them was Beethoven.
But a letter called Beethoven back to Bonn when he was doing his further studies : his mother was dying.
The only person in his family whom he had developed a strong and loving relationship passed away!
Moreover, besides his mother’s death, Beethoven also had to struggle with his deafness.
The young and successful composer and virtuoso had to accept that he was suffering from a chronic, incurable illness with which he will have to live. And that was going to get worse
.~ My Story~.I have a cousin of mine whose father passed away.
Thus, being the eldest child she takes on alot of resposibility because her mother is also jobless.
Though she has interest in music she is scared that taking music as her career will not help her financially.
After working as a admin staff for very long she finally took music as her career.
Though she is still scared that it might not help her financially.
At first it was hard for her but as she peservered.
Now she is a music teacher and she is financially alright now and she is living happily with her family
