Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most important figures in the history of music. He had the greatest influence on the last 150 years of music, as no other composer in history wrote such powerful and expressive music, and especially not against such great odds.
Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven was extremely talented. His father was a great lover of music, and had dreams of making his son the next Mozart. Although Beethoven was no child prodigy, he did learn to play the piano, violin and organ at a young age. By the time he reached fourteen, he was a proficient organ player and was employed to play professionally.
Sadly, Beethoven’s mother died suddenly when he was seventeen. Following this tragedy, his home life declined, and he left home in 1790 to travel to Vienna. Here, he studied composition with Haydn, but after some time he began to find Haydn’s teaching methods frustrating and he moved on to study with other composers.
Beethoven did not perform in public until he was twenty-five, but from his first performance, he became extremely popular with both the common people and the aristocracy of Vienna. He was lucky enough to become well-known at a time when the middle class were becoming more powerful, so he did not have to rely on the wealthy to offer him work. He was given many opportunities to perform publicly and this, as well as well-paid publishing deals, enabled him to live quite comfortably.
Beethoven is regarded by most musicians and composers to be the greatest symphonist that ever lived. He wrote compositions for orchestra which were revolutionary for his time. Although he followed classical musical forms, he wrote such powerful and beautiful melodies that no listener could fail to be amazed. He was the only composer whose music combined a force and elevation which has become legend. Unlike Mozart, Beethoven did not write complete pieces of music in his head, but worked hard on each composition, filling dozens of books with his effort to create perfect music.
In the early nineteenth century, just as his career was reaching its peak, Beethoven realised that he was beginning to grow deaf. This problem quickly became worse, and he became deeply depressed. He was able to perform and conduct his music less and less, and after a while, he was forced to communicate with his friends and colleagues by using a notebook. The music he wrote at this time terrified those who heard it. By 1820 Beethoven was completely deaf and he isolated himself from society. He died in 1827, full of rage at the fact that his ability to enjoy his own music had been taken away from him.
Beethoven was a wonderful composer who expressed human feelings through music in a way no one else has ever done. Today, his deep, inspiring and yet tragic music is still enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.

Travel Wise
Many of us look forward to our summer holidays all year. We can’t wait to get away from our everyday lives, to visit new places, try new things, or just to relax and lie in the sun. But how many of us think about the effect our holidays have on the places we visit?
Although tourism has many benefits, such as bringing extra money into the local economy, there are also negative effects. Tourism can do all sorts of damage to the environment, the culture and the people of a country, especially in places which aren’t prepared for large numbers of holidaymakers. In recent years there has been a large increase in the number of independent travellers who want to get off the beaten track, and this has meant that many remote destinations are having to adjust to new visitors.
It certainly isn’t all bad news though. The last few years have also seen a huge increase in “eco-tourism”. This is tourism where holidaymakers try to have a positive effect on the people and places that they visit. If you are really committed to this idea, then you can spend your holidays helping out on an organic farm in Britain, or taking part in conservation projects in Africa or the Amazon rainforest. Don’t worry, though, if this doesn’t sound like your idea of a holiday. Wherever you go and whatever you want to do, there are still ways to make sure that you have best possible impact on your holiday destination.
If you are going to a place for the first time, it is an excellent idea to find out as much about it as you can. A guidebook is a great place to start. As well as learning about the local places of interest, you can read about the way you will be expected to behave and dress. This can save you from making embarrassing mistakes. Knowing a little about the place that you are visiting before you leave can make your holiday much more enjoyable when you arrive.
It is also important to think about how you spend your money when you are on holiday. Whenever you can, try to put it into the local people’s hands. You can do this by eating and drinking local products rather than imported brands, staying in locally owned accommodation and using local guides. In some parts of the world, you might be relatively well off compared to the local population. Even in places where you are expected to bargain, you should always pay a fair price for things. Remember that what might be a very small amount of money to you, can make a big difference to some people
.
Another important thing for the eco-tourist is to have as little effect on the local environment as possible. Don’t leave litter lying around and use biodegradable products whenever possible. If resources like water or fuel are in short supply, then use as little of these as you can. If you are lucky enough to visit a truly exotic destination such as a coral reef, remote mountain or desert region, or a rainforest then you should try to leave it exactly as you found it.
Eco-tourism organizations say that respecting the culture and environment of the places that you visit will lead to much more rewarding and enjoyable holidays. If we try to encourage the local economy, leave the environment undamaged and are aware of the different laws and attitudes in the places we visit, then all of us can enjoy our ‘eco-holidays’ much better now and in the future.
