The boy aegan to study music at the age- of four, his father beieg his first teach- -1r, from whom he learned violin and piano. Later he b.s.d some few les - eons from Moxart. Apropos of which the story goes, writes Henry Graves, Muss Baca, in the Montreal Family Herald and Weekly Star, Mozart ask- ed Beethoven to play to bine, but did not appear to take mush notice of the performance, whereupon Beethoven was a, little piqued and asked Mozart for a subject for development at eight. The boy played so well that Mozart said to his friends, "Pay attention to this boy, he will make a noise in the world some day,' About this time 13eetticesen met young nobleman. Count Waidstein, who did much to encourage the budding composer. He also assisted him in his financial pose - tion sitich waa very low. In return Beethoven wrote land dedicated to him the famous Sonata with Which his name has become familiar. Beethoven then met another fam- ous contemporary in Haydn. from whom he received instruction in music, but they did not get along , WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE" DroLong, out fishing with Alexan- der Pierce, a detective, tells of ids projected trip te .Suethley DOW1iS.

His affliction would appear to have stimulated his creative power. It is truly remarkable to think that it was while working under such distressing eireumstanees that he produced near- ly all his nine great symphonies, his opera "Fidelio" four overtures, an Oratorio "The Mount of Olives," and the Missa Solennis" and other works.

He named him the "Great Magul" and said that his tem- per was most unfortunate.
