1792, 22-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven came to Vienna from Bonn. Until his death in 1827, he never left this city which was particularly attractive to musicians. Most of Beethoven's works were created here. All his nine symphonies were premiered in Vienna. 1805, his only opera Federio also premiered in vienna state opera. Beethoven is regarded by later generations as the greatest symphony writer of all time. His heroic symphony is full of passion. His ninth symphony, based on German poet Schiller's Ode to Joy, has now become an ode to the European Union.
Brilliant creation can't cover up Beethoven's hard life. 1802, Beethoven wrote a will, probably for his brother, because he gradually lost his hearing and sadness. His warm temperament forced him to move frequently. He left dozens of homes in the hot spring area in the north of Vienna. However, the hot spring finally failed to save his deafness. 18 19, Beethoven completely lost his hearing. 1827, people held a grand funeral for him in Velinger's cemetery. 1888, Beethoven's body was placed in the central cemetery in Vienna.

When Beethoven died in 1827, many friends and admirers came to offer their condolences. Beethoven was buried in Waehringer Friedhof. Greer Pazer, a great literary master, once said in his eulogy, "Beethoven gave everything to everyone, but he didn't get anything from them, so he stayed away from everyone."
