Features: Father wanted to raise little Beethoven as the second Mozart, but his son didn't listen to him. So, every time the eight-year-old child played a wrong note, he had to endure his father's scolding and beating. However, when practicing the piano alone, the son played very well and showed early genius, composing some music. Soon, the father and the teacher's knowledge was no longer enough, and Beethoven came from Bonn to Vienna, the music capital of the time, to seek a master.
