Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven showed great talent at an early age. In 1787, Beethoven first visited Vienna, at that time the centre of musical world. There he performed before Mozart, who was amazed at his talent. In 1792, Beethoven returned to Vienna, where he lived until his death.Beethoven never married. As teacher, he was impatient but painstaking; he was quiet in piano playing but extravagant in conducting. He was so absent-minded that once he insisted on paying a waiter for a dinner for dinner he had not eaten or even ordered.By 1817, he became totally deaf. Public performance stopped, but he continued his creative work. His finest works were composed after he had lost the power to enjoy them. Beethovens life ended sadly. After a long illness, he died on March26, 1827.JAZZ爵士之王爵士之王路易路易斯斯 阿姆斯特朗阿姆斯特朗Louis Satchmo ArmstrongTHE MAN WITH THE HORN The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “ More! More!” cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school!,” his teacher said. Louis music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didnt learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent. Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmos horn had as many as sounds as ten horns-sometimes slow and sweet; Sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes the horn speak.” then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Astrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isnt it beautiful how music brings us together!” (The end)SOME QUESTIONSWhat was Louis Armstrongs childhood like?What was his music?What was his musical instrument?Did he work hard before he succeeded?Do you think every famous person work hard before they succeed?
