People loved listening to the pieces that he played. He played so well he was allow to play concerts in front of 100s and 100s of people.Lugwig's father and grandpa were a musician and singers as well so his father expected Lugwig to study and pratice music when he was a little boy. His father taught lugwig about music.

E.g Wolfgang Mozart and Johann Bach. At the age of ten Lugwig wrote music for a piano concert. More and more people began buying his songs. He now was a composer.

When he was 17 years old he went to Vienna in Austria to study. He met Mozart. He enjoyed staying in Vienna so he decided to live there.

A sad thing happened to Beethoven when he was around 30 years old. He began starting to get deaf. He heard noisy sounds in his ears. Then the noise came constant. He could still hear people talking and most music. Soon he could no longer hear most things. He beacame totally deaf at the age of 47. But he still wrote music but he could not listen to the music he wrote.
