Well, it sounds like you are fucked. You might want to investigate the opportunities at Hamburger University.

Find a timeline on Beethoven. Timeline should have enough facts for you. Would make it easy to compare and contrast too.

i think his way of live :) and music to

Let me ask you this.

What do you think his most famous music symponey was?

or best work?

it's 2am I am slacking on spelling

probably the 9th symphony.

Why do you think he is famous? :helpme

a legend in his own time? I think that would be a stretch . . .but I am not that familiar with how popular he was while he was alive

He was one of the greatest composers of his time.

- When he was a child he was already well known. Prodigy.

- Plus him being deaf and still being able to compose music only made him more famous.

Damn this would be so much easier if it were Mozart.

why do you think gfy will find any answers for you? get the fuck out of here and go w.r.i.t.e your fucking paper! damn dude, ive got my own courses to worry about.

You guys are doing great so far.

I can see the look on my teachers face.

Why I passed a whole semester of college without taking finals. I have the bullshit gene.

Start with some bullshit points:

What is music? It can be said that music is really nothing more than a pattern of sounds that trigger certain emotions in the human brain. It is a science so complex that it can only be thought of as art. Man has managed to narrow it down to a written language of notes, chords, measures, etc but the creation of powerful music can only come from an innate ability to transpose emotion into a universal sound blah blah.

Beethovens 5th still recognized by people today blah blah truly an amazing feat to have a few measures of music that people still use in movies, television, they think it in their head, use it in certain conversation when certain topics arise, etc. What an amazing talent it is for a person to be able to take that and through a painstaking process of selecting not only the correct notes but instrumentation, strike a chord in the hearts of so many people blah blah blah.

Pure fucking bullshit. They know they're assigning bullshit if its english class. They just wanna see if you can string the words together. I'm the king of the 15 minute multi page A+ essay.

Way to go cluck! :thumbsup
