você pode não conhecer nada de música
clássica mas certamente já ouviu essas
notas
aqui elas são da célebre Quinta Sinfonia
de Ludwig van Beethoven um dos maiores
compositores da
história além de vermos sua vida e sua
obra vamos olhar para um mistério e uma
discussão sobre Beethoven que duram até
hoje mais de 250 anos depois de seu
nascimento
[Música]
sejam bem-vindos ao neologia do história
meu nome é Felipe Figueiredo formado em
História colunista podcast youtuber e
professor e conheça um pouco da relação
entre história e genética Ness
nerdologia sobre a vida e a obra de
Beethoven Ludwig van Beethoven nasceu em
16 de dezembro de 1770 em bom na atual
Alemanha a casa onde ele nasceu É hoje
um museu em sua homenagem
seus pais Johan van Beethoven e Maria
Madalena keverich tiveram sete filhos
mas apenas três chegaram à vida adulta
Ludwig c e ncolas Johan o pai e a mãe de
Beethoven não eram da nobreza mas parte
de uma burguesia Urbana que tinha
contato com a aristocracia dos
territórios alemães e do império
austríaco na época Alemanha ainda não
era
unificada sua família paterna era
profundamente ligada à música seu avô
também chamado Ludwig nasceu nos Dom
minos austríacos na região flamenga da
atual Bélgica e tornou-se diretor
musical do arcebispado de colônia seu
pai Johan era tenor e professor de piano
e de violino e foi o primeiro professor
de piano de
Beethoven desde o início da vida
Beethoven foi submetido a um rígido
treinamento musical e quando Ele
demonstrou enorme aptidão para o piano o
treinamento apenas se tornou mais
intenso em cartas escritas em sua vida
adulta Bethoven lembra que muitas vezes
chorava entre as
ele também teve outros professores da
cidade de bom um deles foi Tobias
Friedrich fifer que era notívago e por
isso realizava sessões noturnas surpresa
com o pequeno betoven então com 5 anos
de
idade você talvez já tenha visto algo
sobre uma suposta rivalidade entre
Bethoven e wfan Amadeus
Mozart na verdade a rivalidade foi
criada pelo pai de
be Mozart era 14 anos mais velho que
Beethoven mas era celebrado por ter
feito sua primeira composição aos 5 anos
de idade pai de Beethoven então anunciou
a primeira apresentação de seu filho
como se o menino tivesse 6 anos de idade
quando na verdade tinha sete aos 13 anos
ele teve suas primeiras composições
publicadas com elogios ao menino
prodígio já que lembrem-se o pai de
Bethoven subtraiu um ano dos seus
registros a relação de Beethoven com seu
pai era bastante difícil especialmente
devido ao alcoolismo de ohan
quando betoven tinha 16 anos sua mãe
faleceu e do anos depois seu pai foi
forçado a se aposentar devido ao abuso
do álcool ao ponto em que foi ordenado
por uma corte que metade de sua pensão
fosse paga diretamente a betoven que
repassaria os valores aos seus
irmãos a distância emocional de sua
família fez com que betoven tratasse os
amigos da família Von bruning como a sua
família e ele chamava Helene Von bruning
de sua segunda
mãe Bethoven tinha um apoio político e
financeiro de vários nobres da região e
com a recomendação do seu professor
Christian golob niff ele se tornou um
pupilo de Joseph haiding muitas vezes
chamado de pai da Sinfonia aos 22 anos
de idade Bethoven Partiu para Viena
capital do império habsburgo pouco
depois seu pai
[Música]
faleceu e existe uma questão
interessante hoje betoven é considerado
um dos maiores compositores da história
mas inicialmente sua dedicação era a
performance e não apenas com piano para
complementar sua renda Bethoven também
dava aulas o que
detestava com as guerras pós-revolução
francesa betonen não tinha como retornar
para sua cidade natal e decidiu ficar em
Viena sob o mecenato da nobreza
austríaca em 29 de março de 1795
Bethoven realizou o seu primeiro
concerto na cidade ao piano
betoven viveu em Viena até o fim de sua
vida nesse período de pouco mais de 30
anos sua saúde seja física mental ou
emocional deteriorou bastante ele brigou
pela guarda de seu sobrinho após a morte
de um dos seus irmãos tinha ataques de
raiva em público destr músicos que
considerava medíocres e nunca se
casou em 1994 foi lançado o filme Minha
amada Imortal sobre Beethoven cujo
título evoca uma carta de amor de 10
páginas que Beethoven nunca enviou e foi
encontrada em seus arquivos e a
identidade da mulher até hoje é
especulada outro motivo para seus
problemas de saúde eram seus hábitos ele
se forçava pesados ritmos de trabalho e
costumava beber
bastante no total Bethoven compou
722 trabalhos na qual se destacam uma
ópera e suas nove
sinfonias elas são muito influentes e
presentes na cultura pop justificam O
Legado de Beethoven como um dos maiores
compositores de todos os
tempos caso você tenha tido um CD em sua
vida ele foi projetado para conter a
duração da nona
sinfonia outro aspecto sempre mencionado
do legado de Bethoven é que a partir de
1798 betove notou que sua audição
deteriorava volta de 1806 ele apenas
conseguia distinguir tons ou sons muito
altos devido à sua capacidade
extraordinária com teoria musical ele
compôs várias de suas obras quase sem
audição em uma escala grandiosa que seus
biógrafos chamam de período
heróico A surdez entretanto o afetava
emocionalmente prejudicava sua vida
social e por um tempo suas Finanças já
que o impedia de se apresentar em
público o que era importante fonte de
renda depois de diversos episódios
debilitantes de sua saúde betoven morreu
em Viena aos 56 anos de idade em 26 de
Março de
1827 seu sepultamento foi acompanhado
apenas por amigos próximos mas uma
grande procissão tomou conta da cidade e
existe alguns mistérios sobre Beethoven
o que causou sua perda de audição que
começou antes dos 30 anos de idade como
isso se relaciona com sua morte cuja
causa também não é plenamente con
uma possibilidade é que Bethoven tenha
sofrido com um caso bastante prematuro
de
otosclerose além disso O que causou a
morte de
Beethoven ele teve diversos problemas de
saúde por toda a sua vida seus últimos
anos foram marcados por vários
sintomas Hoje sabemos que esses sintomas
relatados na época estão ligados
principalmente a questões hepáticas no
dia seguinte à morte o médico Johan
Wagner realizou uma necrópsia que
revelou que o fígado de Beethoven estava
com cirrose encolhido ele também sofria
de pancreatite e seu baço estava
inchado posteriormente foi especulado
que Bethoven pode ter morrido devido ao
envenenamento por
chumbo calma não significa que ele foi
intencionalmente envenenado mas que ele
ingeriu constantemente doses de chumbo
primeiro chumbo era muitas vezes
utilizado em vinhos de baixa qualidade e
Bethoven bebia bastante segundo era um
componente muito utilizado em remédios
da época e devido aos seus problemas
crônicos de sa betoven fazer uso
constante o envenenamento por chumbo não
apenas causa danos hepáticos mas também
danifica o aparelho auditivo por esses
perigos que hoje o chumb é proibido em
muitos itens em que antes ele era
comum quando o betove morreu foram
preservadas muitas mechas de seus
cabelos costume do período para ajudar a
solucionar esses mistérios uma equipe do
Instituto maxplan fez uma análise
genética e publicou suas conclusões em
2023 os resultados foram as constatações
de uma variante de DNA que tornava
betoven vulnerável a doenças no fígado e
de material genético do vírus da
Hepatite B em seu organismo o exame
também trouxe mais um
mistério alguma antepassada de Beethoven
teve uma relação extra conjugal e dessa
relação que veram betovem seus
antepassados diretos mas esse é um
mistério que Veremos em breve incluindo
debate sobre a cor de sua pele
lembro que esse vídeo é um recorte claro
que infelizmente muita coisa
