His Struggles and His Struggles and WorksWorks
• In 1802, Beethoven realized that he was rapidly losing his hearing. As a result of this realization, he became increasingly reclusive.
• Nevertheless, he continued composing.• Unlike Haydn and other previous composers who relied on
patrons, Beethoven worked independently and earned a living from the sale of his works.
• Therefore, Beethoven was the first free-lance composer.
