The composer of some of the most influential pieces of music ever written, Ludwig van Beethoven
created a bridge between the 18th-century classical period and the new beginnings of Romanticism. His
greatest success in composition came in his instrumental work, including his symphonies. Unlike his
predecessor Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for whom writing music seemed to come easily, Beethoven
always struggled to perfect his work. In the late 1700s Beethoven began to suffer from early symptoms
of deafness. The cause of his disability is still uncertain. By 1802 Beethoven was convinced that the
condition not only was permanent, but was getting progressively worse. In the document, seemingly
intended for his two brothers, Beethoven expressed his humiliation and despair. For the rest of his life
he searched for a cure, but by 1819 his deafness had become total. Afterwards, in order to have
conversations with his friends, Beethoven had them write down their questions and replied orally.

28. Perhaps the biggest problem in Beethoven's life was …..

A) the gradual loss of his hearing over a
period of about twenty years
B) the necessity to respond in writing to the
questions of his friends
C) the fact that he was always being
compared to the superior Mozart
D) his sudden and unexpected deafness in the
early nineteenth century

29. Unlike Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Beethoven …..

A) had to work very hard to write his music
B) wrote music that greatly affected people
C) refused to perform uncorrected music
D) expressed his humiliation and despair in
all his works

A) brought about the end of the classical
period of music
B) had a great influence on the works of the
composer Mozart

composed

different periods of music
