+
+ HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
+
+
+This book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN BOOK OF GREAT
+MUSICIANS, written by Thomas Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives
+of the Great Composers for Children," "Music Talks with Children,"
+"First Studies in Music Biography," and others.
+
+The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut apart by the
+child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its proper place
+throughout the book, pasted in the space containing the same number as
+will be found under each picture on the sheet. It is not necessary to
+cover the entire back of a picture with paste. Put it only on the
+corners and place neatly within the lines you will find printed around
+each space. Use photographic paste, if possible.
+
+After this play-work is completed there will be found at the back of the
+book blank pages upon which the child is to write his own story of the
+great musician, based upon the facts and questions found on the previous
+pages.
+
+The book is then to be sewed by the child through the center with the
+cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book thus becomes the child's
+own book.
+
+This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and interesting
+task for the children, but will teach them the main facts with regard to
+the life of each of the great musicians--an educational feature worth
+while.

+
+ The Story of a Little Boy who was Forced to Practice
+
+
+Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the lovely town of Bonn, on the River
+Rhine, December 16, 1770.
+
+The house in which he spent his boyhood is still standing. We see in the
+picture what a pretty, homelike place the house and the yard must have
+been. It is now the Beethoven House, or Museum, filled with mementos of
+the great composer. There you may see music pages written by him,
+letters, medals, instruments; even his ear trumpet is there.
+
+ [Illustration: THE BEETHOVEN HOUSE]
+
+Beethoven's father was a singer at the Chapel of the Elector. He was not
+a good father, for he did not care to work even enough to make his
+family comfortable. But the mother loved her boy with all her heart, as
+we shall see.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 3
+
+ BEETHOVEN'S FATHER]
+
+Ludwig was only four years old when he began to study music. Like
+children of to-day he shed many a tear over the first lessons. In the
+beginning his father taught him piano and violin, and forced him to
+practice. At school he learned, just as we do to-day, reading, writing,
+arithmetic, and later on, Latin.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 4
+
+ THE FIRST LESSON]
+
+Never again after thirteen, did Ludwig go to school for he had to work
+and earn his living.
+
+Do you wonder what kind of a boy he was?
+
+We are told that he was shy and quiet. He talked little and took no
+interest in the games that his boy and girl companions played.
+
+While Ludwig was in school he played at a concert for the first time. He
+was then eight years old. Two years later he had composed quite a number
+of pieces. One of these was printed. It was called _Variations on
+Dressler's March_. On the title page of this piece it said:--
+
+ **********************************
+ * VARIATIONS ON DRESSLER'S MARCH *
+ * Composed by a Young Amateur *
+ * LOUIS VAN BEETHOVEN *
+ * Aged ten years. 1780 *
+ **********************************
+
+Then the little boy studied with a teacher named Christian Gottlob
+Neefe, who took real interest in him. Neefe did not, as was said of
+Beethoven's father, punish the little boy severely to keep him at his
+practice, hour after hour.
+
+Often when Neefe had to travel Ludwig took his teacher's place as
+organist at the Court. Then with the organ lessons there were other
+lessons in Harmony. So rapidly did the boy improve that his teacher said
+one day:
+
+"If he goes on as he has begun, he will some day be a second Mozart."
+
+Our young hero of thirteen was surely busy every hour of the day. He
+played in an orchestra, as accompanist. He gave lessons, played the
+organ in church, studied the violin, and kept up his work in
+composition. He always kept a note-book for musical ideas.
+
+Most every child in these days has more and better opportunities than
+had the great Beethoven when he was a child. Here is a picture of the
+funny old organ in the Minorite Church of Bonn upon which Beethoven
+played when he was a little boy.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 5
+
+ BEETHOVEN'S ORGAN]
+
+Look at the funny stops at the top and compare it with the best organ in
+your own town. This is little better than a toy beside our fine organs
+of to-day,--yet it was the best that Beethoven had to practice upon.
+
+When Neefe said that he would probably be a second Mozart the words
+filled Ludwig with a great desire. On his sixteenth birthday what do you
+think happened? Why, he set out from Bonn to Vienna, where Mozart lived.
+
+But scarcely had he begun to feel at home in Vienna when news came to
+him that his mother was ill. She had always been a good mother, kind of
+heart, great of hope for her little boy, and probably she sympathized
+with the hard lot that made him have to work so early in life. When he
+learned of her sickness he hastened to Bonn.
+
+Who was happier, he said to one of his friends, than I, so long as I was
+able to speak the sweet name of Mother and know that she heard me?
+
+ [Illustration: No. 6
+
+ BEETHOVEN'S MOTHER]
+
+Vienna had given him a wonderful happiness. He met Mozart and had some
+lessons from him in composition. When he played for the great master,
+Mozart tip-toed from the room and said softly to those present:
+
+"Pay heed to this boy. He will surely make a noise in the world some
+day."
+
+ [Illustration: No. 7
+
+ BEETHOVEN AND MOZART]
+
+After his Mother's death he determined that he would remain there. And
+it was not until he talked with Joseph Haydn, who stopped at Bonn on his
+way to London, that he decided once more to journey to Vienna. Beethoven
+was twenty-two years old at the time he met Papa Haydn. Beethoven showed
+the master some of his compositions. Haydn urged him to go at once to
+Vienna, promising to give him lessons in composition on his return from
+London.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 8
+
+ JOSEPH HAYDN]
+
+Everywhere in Vienna Beethoven was a welcome guest. He was proud (but in
+the right way), very honest, always straightforward and independent.
+But, like his mother, he was warm-hearted and as true as could be. There
+was nothing in his nature that was mean, or cruel, or wrong in any way.
+He took pride in his talent and worked hard to perfect himself in it.
+
+Here is what Beethoven's handwriting looked like.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 9
+
+ BEETHOVEN'S HANDWRITING]
+
+Bit by bit, the great power of Beethoven as a pianist became known. He
+played much among his friends, but he did not like to perform in public.
+
+A story is told that once he was to play his C major Concerto at a
+concert. When he arrived at the hall he found the piano was tuned so low
+that he had to play the Concerto in C# major.
+
+You know how hard it is to transpose a simple piece, but think of
+transposing a Concerto and playing it with orchestra without time for
+practice!
+
+Do you sometimes wonder what the great composer looked like? Beethoven
+lived outside of Vienna and often took long walks in the country. Once a
+little boy ten years of age was taken by his father to visit Beethoven.
+The boy must have been a very observant boy for he wrote out a
+description of how Beethoven looked. This is the little boy's picture as
+a man:
+
+ [Illustration: No. 10
+
+ CARL CZERNY]
+
+And this is the description he gave of Beethoven.
+
+"Beethoven was dressed in a dark gray jacket and trousers of some
+long-haired material, which reminded me of the description of Robinson
+Crusoe I had just been reading. The jet-black hair stood upright on his
+head. A beard, unshaven for several days, made still darker his
+naturally swarthy face. I noticed also, with a child's quick perception,
+that he had cotton wool which seemed to have been dipped in some yellow
+fluid in both ears. His hands were covered with hair, and the fingers
+were very broad, especially at the tips."
+
+You know, of course, that when we think of music we think of _hearing_
+it. We think how it _sounds_ to us. A lover of music loves to hear its
+_tones_ and to feel its _rhythm_.
+
+Like every other human being, Beethoven loved music in just this way. He
+loved its sounds as they fell on the ear. As colors delight our eyes, so
+tones fell with delight upon the ears of this man.
+
+Beethoven was once invited to play at the home of a nobleman, but upon
+being informed that he would be expected to go as a menial, he
+indignantly rejected the proposal.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 11
+
+ THE ANGRY BEETHOVEN]
+
+Beethoven had many friends and was fond of them. They knew that he was a
+genius and were glad to forget some of the very strange things that he
+did when he got angry. Here is a picture of the great master seated
+among a group of his friends. Although Beethoven was odd, his friends
+loved him.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 12
+
+ BEETHOVEN PLAYING FOR HIS FRIENDS]
+
+But a strange Fate touched him and took away his sense of hearing. From
+the time he was about thirty years old his hearing grew gradually worse.
+Indeed it was necessary for him to have a piano especially constructed
+with additional wires so that he could hear.
+
+ [Illustration: No. 13
+
+ BEETHOVEN'S PIANO]
+
+Can you think of anything more cruel, more terrible, more depressing,
+more awful?
+
+ [Illustration: No. 14
+
+ BEETHOVEN IN THE COUNTRY]
+
+And yet he went on day, after day, composing beautiful music as he
+walked the fields, or as he sat at his table. For we must remember that
+he could hear his own music in his thoughts. That is, the mind that made
+the music could hear it, though the ear itself was forever closed to the
+sound of it.
+
+Year after year he continued to write symphonies and concertos, sonatas,
+songs, choral and chamber music.
+
+And year after year the poor ears closed a little more and still a
+little more, until finally not even the loudest noises could penetrate
+them.
+
+And yet he worked bravely; writing every beautiful music thought that
+came to him, so that the world, and that means you and all of us, might
+have them. When Beethoven was dying in 1827, Schubert called upon him
+and remained with him for some time.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
