Hello everyone!

Today with Challenges group we were talking about disabled people. And I brought some information about famous disabled people. It was exciting for them to know about Beethoven, Stevie Wonder and Walt Disney. And we listened to the music of Beethoven and songs of Stevie Wonder.

Now, I want you to listen.

Beethoven-Moonlight Sonata (Mvt. 1)





Beethoven is the great German composer and musician who was deaf at the later part of his life. In his early life he was famous as a pianist. He got the primary knowledge of music from his father, Johann van Beethoven who was a musician in the electoral court. He has some mysterious power which led him to create famous composes one after another. He went Vienna and learned many things from some of the prominent musicians. After his age of 28, he started becoming deaf and his personal life was not so peaceful. He composed many piano Sonatas such as Waldstein, Appassionata etc.
