Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer and pianist. One of the representatives of the Viennese classical music school. Born into a family of singers at the court of the Elector of Cologne. He studied music from his father since he was a child. At the age of 19, he attended philosophy at the University of Bonn and was exposed to bourgeois revolutionary enlightenment thought. He became a music teacher in 1787. He settled in Vienna in 1792 and published his first work three years later. This was the beginning of his creative career. He became deaf in both ears in 1820, but never stopped writing. He pursued the ideals of "freedom, equality, and fraternity" throughout his life. His main works reflected the revolutionary enthusiasm of the bourgeoisie at that time to fight against feudalism and fight for democracy, and showed the heroic spirit of mankind. In his later years, he was in the period of Metternich's reactionary rule and the restoration of feudal forces. Some of his works revealed negative emotions, but he still maintained his eager yearning for the bourgeois democratic revolution. His creations inherit the traditions of Haydn and Mozart, and absorb the tones of the French Revolution, inspiring people and inspiring fighting spirit. In order to make the music express dramatic opposition, various innovations were carried out in creative techniques: using widely developed contrasting themes and dynamic harmonious progressions; expanding the sonata form structure to adapt to conflicts, and deepening the introduction, reproduction and ending. expressive meaning. In the suites, he is good at replacing elegant minuets with dynamic scherzos, giving orchestral pieces symphonic orchestrations, and quoting human voices in symphonies.

His major works include nine symphonies (the third "Hero", the fifth "Destiny", the sixth "Pastoral" and the ninth "Chorus" are the most famous), the opera "Fidelio", and the drama "Egmont" The soundtrack of "The Ruins of Athens" includes five piano concertos, one violin concerto, sixteen string quartets, ten violin sonatas and two masses.

Excerpts from the teaching record of "Music Giant Beethoven"

The passionate piano music "Destiny" echoed in the classroom, and the students listened with interest and concentration until the song was finished.

Teacher: Who knows what this passionate and inspiring symphony is? What do you know about it?

Life (all): "Symphony of Destiny"! "destiny"!

Zhou Weiguang: This is composed by Beethoven!

Liu Shuai: This is Beethoven’s work after he became deaf!

Teacher: Okay, you know a lot. Who can introduce more about Beethoven?

Du Zhijia: Beethoven is the greatest composer in Germany. He lives in a musical family. He has had ear problems since he was 28 years old. At that time, his creative power was at its peak. He was 30 years old. At that time, his ears were completely deaf, and he was very depressed at that time.

Wei Yue: I also know that he composed many excellent musical works after his deafness, including "Eroic Symphony", "Pastoral Symphony" and "Choral Symphony".

Teacher: The students all spoke very well and knew a lot. No matter how hard you work, you will reap the rewards. This shows that the students have fully prepared before class. How did the deaf Beethoven face life? Let us read the article "Music Giant Beethoven" together and enter Beethoven's inner world! With some understanding of Beethoven, let us appreciate "Destiny" again. This time the teacher made two requests: First, listen carefully. What did you hear? Second, when it comes to association, what do you think of?

(The students chose the posture they thought was most comfortable to appreciate "Destiny" again. Some looked out the window, thoughtfully; some frowned, staring at one place, and some held their hands Chin, eyes blurred, a few minutes later, the song ends).

Teacher: If anyone wants to speak, just stand up.

Li Fangfang: I hear a strong rhythm that always repeats, like the god of fate constantly knocking on Beethoven’s door.

Duan Yihong: Between the strong rhythms there is a relatively soothing part, which seems to be Beethoven's yearning for a better life.

Fang Yuan: Listening to this song, I seemed to see a little girl sitting in the woods, surrounded by beautiful flowers, birds chirping on the branches, and white clouds floating in the sky. , after a while, the little girl stood up and played with butterflies while picking flowers.

(There was a surprised look on the students’ faces).

Teacher: After listening to the description just now, do students have any different opinions? Bring it up.

Xie Huamin: I don’t agree with her statement. She seems to have memorized it in advance, which is inconsistent with the reality of this piece of music. Such a strong and exciting piece of music will scare away the birds. My son was also shocked. (Everyone laughs).

Feng Chao: I also agree with Xie Huamin’s opinion that you should tell your true feelings.

Teacher: Yes. This is one of our classroom exercises. Whatever you hear, you should express it truly. Who says anything more?

Yu Chengcheng: (relatively excited, with a melancholy and trembling tone) Listening to this piece of music, I seemed to see a horse running on the grassland, and suddenly encountered a large thorn forest, and the horse was trapped. He was trapped, unable to move forward, and was covered with thorns. At this time, the little squirrel came, the little white rabbit came, and the birds flew over. They led the horse to help it get out of the thorn forest; just as the horse As he ran forward with his head raised, he fell into a swamp again. The horse struggled and fought hard. It was unwilling to be submerged. Just when it was exhausted, another small animal came to help it, and finally it struggled. Come up. The sky was so blue at this time. . . (Sobbing) The birds are singing so happily, and the flowers are waving to it. . . (lying on the desk). (After a moment of silence, the teacher took the lead in applauding)

Teacher: (also a little excited) Yu Chengcheng integrated his own experience into this piece of music, just like Beethoven who went through all kinds of hardships and finally defeated fate. I believe With the care and help of every classmate, Yu Chengcheng will overcome the unfortunate fate with perseverance, put the miserable life under his feet, and welcome his bright future.
