Best Answer

Beethoven's father was not well known as a musician. He was employed as a musician in the court of the Elector of Cologne, as had Beethoven's grandfather who was very talented. Neither of them achieved what would be considered fame.

Beethoven's father has achieved more notoriety through his allegedly cruel and domineering behavior towards his young son, whose talent he tried to exploit. Beethoven's father was a court musician, an alcoholic, and he tried to exploit his son's talent.

His father was a musician who liked to drink. He taught Beethoven to play piano and violin. In the middle of the night he would pull Beethoven out of bed to perform for his drunken friends. If Beethoven protested he would get a beating.

no Beethoven's father wasn't kind to him. He even made him wake up in the middle of the night to practice the piano.But if his dad didn't make him play the piano he wouldn't be a great pianist.
