His father constantly drank with his friends through the late hours of the night but what's a party without music right? Unfortunately for young Ludwig, Johann, his father, thought the same so he would wake his son in the middle of the night to have him play for him and his friends. if the little boy would oppose, he'd be beaten. After some time, everybody would admire the young boys talent so at his teen years (17-20) he left his hometown to seek teachings from the amazing Wolfgang Mozart. He couldn't make the trip because he had to care for his sick mother and had to wait until 1792, after Mozart's death, to leave to Vienna, Austria. In his early years at Vienna he started to lose his hearing becoming completely deaf in 1816. He lived in Vienna, Austria until his death in 1827, before his death he became the first ever musician to be paid enough money to live off his music.
