How Old Is Beethoven Now

Beethoven’s personal life was marked by a struggle against deafness, and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life, when he was quite unable to hear. He died at the age of 56.

How old was Beethoven when he first composed music?

Beethoven’s first childhood composition is predictably incredible for a 12-year-old. It’s time to listen to Beethoven’s 9 Variations on a March by Ernst Dressler in C minor, his first ever document composition, written when he was only 12 years old.

How old was Beethoven First Symphony?

Beethoven’s First Symphony, dedicated to Baron Gottfried Van Swieten, came at age 29. Fittingly, it was the dawn of a new century. It appeared late in what scholars define as the first period of Beethoven’s career, just a year or two before the crisis brought about by his gradual loss of hearing.
