Beethoven, who lives a remarkable life, is one of my heroes greatly influencing my life. His diligence and persistence of studying music day and night won him a reputation and made him be appreciated by other musicians. Unfortunately, he suffered hearing loss in his late twenties, which once made him depressed and desperate. However, he tried a lot of methods. Eventually, he overcame this desperate situation and finished Symphony No.9, which use extraordinary technique to perform lows and uplifting highs to reflect his suffering, various virtues and genius as a composer.
