Why Did Beethoven want to be a musician?

Answer 1

The main reason why Beethoven became a composer was because of his father's influence. Gifted already, the young Beethoven was forced into a strict regimen of practice, but it did not kill his love of music. He was a passionate and emotional man, who found expression through composition more than just through playing the music others had composed.

At an early age, Beethoven took an interest in music, and his father taught him day and night, on returning to the house from music practice or the tavern. Without doubt, the child was gifted, and his father Johann envisaged creating a new Mozart, a child prodigy.
