Beethoven and Mozart were both child prodigies born in the late 18th century who became renowned classical composers despite facing hardships. Beethoven was born in 1770 in Bonn and taught music from a young age by his alcoholic father, experiencing abuse. He went deaf in his later years but continued composing influential works. Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg and was taught by his father Leopold from a very young age, touring Europe as a performer from age 6. Both composers experienced early success but also struggled against illness and disabilities as they revolutionized classical music.

father as well as taking additional lessons from
