Beethoven, a German composer, was born in Bonn in the winter of 1770 in a humble hut with curved walls. His parents were at odds and lived in poverty. Beethoven's tragic childhood caused him to be serious, withdrawn, stubborn and independent, which bred strong and profound feelings in his heart. He began to compose music at the age of 12; 14 years old to participate in band performances, receive wages to subsidize the family. It can be said that Beethoven almost became a symbol of suffering. 17 years old, his mother died of illness, spent the last money in the family, leaving two younger brothers, a sister and a degenerate father. Not only that, Beethoven got typhoid fever and smallpox. The misfortune he suffered is completely beyond the comprehension of a child.
However, Beethoven survived and worked in an orchestra for family life and his hobbies. Beethoven's music works are full of noble thoughts and feelings: some are like rushing rapids, giving people confidence and strength; Some are beautiful, simple, solemn and quiet in nature; Some of them seem to pour in the shade of oak trees, ethereal and gentle, with profound beauty. ...
Beethoven's musical genius was just budding. When he was about to enter the golden age of his prime, he found that his hearing began to decline. Who doesn't know that music only exists in the ears of music? How did this young German who devoted his life to music lose his ears at the age of 26? The cruel fate made the young musician miserable, but in the end it failed to make him depressed. He gave up the idea of suicide and said to his friend, "It was art, but art kept me. I can't leave this world until I finish my mission. "
Beethoven decided to challenge his tragic fate. In his letter to a friend, he said, "I will seize fate by the throat, and it will never make me yield!" " "
This sentence has become the motto of Beethoven's life, which can best express his indomitable character. Since then, he has worked harder than before. He described to his friends his race against time after hearing loss and the tense life he created: "No rest! -I don't know what rest there is except sleeping. " "I don't write every day. If I sometimes make the god of art sleepy, I will only wake him up more excitedly. "
The period of Beethoven's hard struggle with fate was the most creative and brilliant period in his life. Most of his successful works were created after hearing loss. With amazing perseverance, diligence and great achievements, he set off a brand-new page in the history of world music.
He is a rich young master, but he devoted himself to serving the motherland. When he was appointed by Chao Yan, he once "laughed and went to Yemen, and we begged Artemisia". He once wrote: "I am a madman in Chu, and the wind is singing and laughing at Kong Qiu." However, the darkness of society stung his eyes and broke his heart. He failed to show his ambition, and society asked him to sing praises for powerful people. So, "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those people with high status and important positions? They will never be seen with a sincere face! " He left decisively, but he couldn't escape the decline of the world and the corruption of the country. In the end, he had to pursue Bai Yue in his heart with his life. Secular hardships can't stop his pursuit of purity and nobility. He honed a positive and optimistic attitude in the hardships of his official career and life. It is this spirit of overcoming suffering that made him create a brilliant page in the history of literature. He is a poet-Li Bai.
"The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom is bitter and cold."
Seize the suffering and accept the tempering of suffering, and you can create brilliance.
