was asked why he painted Beethoven, he

in a silhouette of a conductor here to portray
Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola August 6, 1928.
Born to Slovak immigrants, he was reared in a working class suburb
of Pittsburgh. From an early age, Warhol showed an interest in
photography and drawing, attending free classes at Carnegie Institute.
Throughout the nineteen fifties, Warhol enjoyed a successful
career as a commercial artist, winning several commendations
from the Art Director's Club and the American Institute of
Graphic Arts. During this period, he shortened his name to
"Warhol." In 1952, the artist had his first solo exhibition at the
Hugo Gallery
Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), the second-oldest
child of the court musician and tenor singer Johann
van Beethoven, was born in Bonn. Ludwig's father drilled
him thoroughly with the ambition of showcasing him as a
child prodigy. Ludwig gave his first public performance as
a pianist when he was eight years old. At the age of eleven
he received the necessary systematic training in piano
performance and composition from Christian Gottlob Neefe,
organist and court musician in Bonn.
Beethoven's career as a virtuoso pianist was brought to an
end when he began to experience his first symptoms of
deafness. In a letter written to his friend Karl Ameda on
1 July 1801, he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness.

How often I wish you were here, for your Beethoven's career as a virtuoso

he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness.
The final years in the life of the restless bachelor
(he changed living quarters no fewer than fifty-two times
) were darkened by severe illness and by the struggle over
the guardianship of his nephew Karl, upon whom he poured
his solicitude, jealousy, expectations and threats in an effort
to shape the boy according to his wishes. When the most
famous composer of the age died, about thirty thousand
mourners and curious onlookers were present at the funeral
