贝多芬生长在一个音乐家庭,生性天真活泼。刚两三岁时就经常跟随着父亲的琴声放歌起舞了。贝多芬的父亲约翰是一位多才多艺的宫廷乐师,小提琴拉得非常好,演奏古钢琴更是他的强项。同时他还有一副非常甜美的嗓音,年龄还很小的时候,就在皇家教堂中担任过童声领唱,当时还被誉为“小神童”呢。但因为性格倔强、孤僻、不善交往,再加上老认为自己才华出众而怀才不遇,对自己的处境深感不满,染上了酗酒的恶习。在极端悲观失望的情况下,他把希望寄托在儿子小贝多芬的身上。 Beethoven grows in a musical family and is naturally naive and lively. When I was just two or three years old, I often danced with my father’s music. Beethoven’s father, John, is a versatile court musician. The violin is very good, and playing the ancient piano is his strength. At the same time, he also had a very sweet voice. When he was very young, he was the lead boy singer in the Royal Church. At that time, he was also hailed as the “Little Prodigy”. However, because of his stubborn personality, isolation, and bad communication, coupled with his old belief that his talent was outstanding, he was deeply dissatisfied with his situation and he was infected with bad drinking habits. In extreme pessimism and disappointment, he pinned his hopes on his son Beethoven.
