YAAHG omg i should do thiss???? youre so RIGHt he is the mosttt cutest person to me.. its so interesting how beethoven could have had such wild hair, piercing eyes , horrible childhood, explosive outburts, yet sometimes did stuff so.. wholesome. bcs idc ik deep down he is sownright a good person who should had been treated better.
also this isnt a rank! haha . all beethoven anecdotes are cute to me.
ONE: GIGONS the dawg
one of my fav ones. therese had rejected this man, yet he had seemed to find a good friend in the dog. it seemed the doggy was playful it problably made him so happy to walk with him in nature and share a dinner. ITS so funny how he speaks like its a good ol' friend he gloats about. ughh he def talked and petted the dawg im such a huge dog lover this might had been the first that came to me :((
TWO: LISZT and the FOREHEAD KISS
(sidenote: even spotify added this to the Liszt description ☹️)
the recalling of this event varies from one scholar to another. we also have snippets from the conversation books abt liszt visiting (although could had been fixed by schindler who didnt like neither liszt and czerny). either way, it happened. its one of my favs bcs i consider liszt to be one of my another favs and he rightfully preserves Beethoven's importance. he payed for his statue, he kept his bust in his room , and he transcribed his symphonies to piano(?) (idk im no musician but something along those lines). either way, czerny as a former student of beethoven bringing a shy liszt to beethoven. mind you, beethoven was deaf by that point and probably disnt even hear properly. but he prob complimented liszt and kissed his forehead bcs thats jusr a babyyy they will NEVRR take this anecdote from my hands
THREE: Baby Beethoven looking for his dad on the street
this one is as cute as it is tragic. a baby beethoven searching for the one who mistreated him so bad, just for the sake of his mama and his little brothers being financially supported. such a burden on the shoulders of a kid :( still, he went after him. also to think stephan saw that and told gerhard oh holding the roots of my head rn I bet ludwig didnt even think what others thought and just done everything for his family ..His lil soul☹️😞😞
FOUR: Chocolates with Haydn!!!
We know he spent Boxing day with Haydn in 1790. i think a young ludwiggg dreamt very big at that time from then on. to think he spent his lil money just for this lil gesture.. and for a papa too like dayum what if someone wasss actuallyyy a gooddd father figure HMMMM although we know haydn was pretty busy LOL in the end Beethoven still ended up kissing his hands and praising him on knees durin the mans last days. he was humble ! he was HUMBLE! too many say ludwig was overly arrogant which false. love his humility when it comes to mozart, handel or haydn😤
FIVE: this lil stuff with his family
idk these also remain in my head. u can tell he places them on a pedastal Its so interesting Family was so CORE to him. insane how his brother was shit too🤣🤣 allat for what. anyway ludwig does seem to choose little kisses for signs of affections sometimes and if so, liszt and his brother lucky AF grr
SIX: bringing violets
this one is certainly new added but oh cheisr this isnone of those things that are so simple yet feel so genuine he IS dreamy in all senses of the word. him! picking! flowers!!
SEVEN: the hand holding..
he is so salty and upset his nephew disnt wanna hold hands with him. does that mean he wanted to hold hands at all times and feel like a dad? thata right. i imagine he probably thinks its CRUCIAL! its the sign of family and LOVE! and his cute lil sensitive self is hurt by just a tinnyyy denial of hand holdin. U cute FOOL come here ill hold ur hand😞
THESE r from the top of my head which i could had provide immediate photos. theres always a new beethoven anecdote to read tho so will keep digging and digging. these are my personal favs anyone else can add id like to even reread sum and what OTHERZ think idk i love commentary
