Ludwig van Beethoven had many good and bad memories. He did quite bad in school and his father (Johann van Beethoven) forced him to enter into the musical world. Eventually his father made him hold a concert at the age of 8 in Koeln. His mother (Maria Magdalena Keverich) was very ill of an unknown sickness and later on passed away (died). After his mother's death, his father became angry and was said to be a disgrace to the Beethoven family because of his immature and unwanted behavior.
