Ludwig Van Beethoven was born at Bonn in 1770. He began learning the violin and piano when he was only five and by the time he was 8, he began giving concerts. He received little school education except music. At the age of 14, he had a chance to visit Vienna, where Mozart heard him play and spoke highly of him. Later he had lessons from Haydn.
