EAN'S REPORT ON BEETHOVEN

Report Excerpt:

If I could ask Beethoven any question it would be “Were you scared when you starting going deaf?” I think he would have said “Yes, I was scared.” He probably didn’t understand why he was going deaf. He loved music so much and it didn’t seem fair to him that he would be the one to go deaf. He as a genius at music and he would have been scared to know that he would never hear his beautiful music again. It would have been scary for him to find out that his hearing problem would only get worse and he would be losing time to create his music.


Beethoven is my favorite composer because I like music and I think he had cool hair. I also like that at age 12 they thought he would be another Mozart. He was just a little kid when he started to become famous and he did become just as famous as Mozart. When he got older he had wild hair. I think because he was so busy with his music that he didn’t care about brushing it.
