I think if Ludwig van Beethoven were still alive today, in this day
and age, he would be very, very, old.
In fact., I think he would be dead.

After Beethoven had become accepted as a top master
in his time, and was working as a court composer for
a wealthy Elector, he was paid a visit by another of
the great composers of the period.
He found Beethoven sitting on the floor of his
apartment, unshaven, in his bedclothes, with trash
strewn about and several legless and broken pianos.
After a friendly but short meeting with the deaf man,
this other composer, enraged, went to the Elector and
loudly complained about the mistreatment of the
maestro.
He was informed that Beethoven was *not* a poor man,
and despite the embarrassment to the Elector, he
preferred to live that way, and resented it when
maids were periodically sent around to muck the
place out.

"Why has this man come to trouble us?" they asked, as the 25-year old
transplant from Bonn pounded the keyboard on his way to fame.
He ended his close friendship with the generous Prince Lichnowsky in
1806 by declaring: "There have been, and will be, thousands of
princes. There is only one Beethoven"

You can still hear Beethoven,
but Beethoven cannot hear you.
