A great composer—Beethoven
I read about Beethoven in an encyclopaedia yesterday. Now let me tell you something about him.
Beethoven was born on December 16, 1770. He was not only a famous pianist, but also a composer and musician. He showed musical talent at a very young age. When he was four years old, he could already play the piano. But when he was twenty years old, he lost his hearing. In spite of this, he never gave up his love for music. He created a lot of wonderful music in his life.
Beethoven was a great musician. We should learn from his story and try to pursue our dreams. The most important is, don’t give up when you meet difficulties.
