Horrible Histories Prom [Subtitled]

When he was four and she was eight, Mozart and Marie Antoinette met under a table. Mozart said: "I love you," to the eight-year-old archduchess. Marie Antoinette took the boy into her arms and kissed him. Little did either of them know that this would be the last time they met. Just six years later, the archduchess moved to France to become its Queen, while Mozart spent his teenage and adult years in Salzburg, watching another up-and-coming composer, Ludwig Van Beethoven, perform his first symphony in 1786.

Both Mozart and Salieri taught Beethoven how to write piano concerti. Unlike Mozart, Beethoven wrote only nine symphonies and five piano concerti. Mozart wrote 45 symphonies and more than 20 piano concerti. Mozart and Beethoven had the relationship of teacher and student, but the latter only started to go deaf after Mozart died. He began going deaf when he wrote his third symphony, Eroica, and by the time he wrote his ninth symphony, Beethoven was completely deaf.

In 1804, when Beethoven wrote his Third Symphony, he did not entirely hear the news that Napoleon had declared himself Emperor of the French. However, he did hear the words: "Napoleon" and "Emperor," and flying into a rage when hearing how his hero had turned into a villian, he renamed his Third Symphony Eroica instead of Napoleonica, which was the original name. That is why the second movement of this symphony is called "The Funeral of the Hero," because the spirit of the hero in Napoleon had died, in Beethoven's eyes. He began going deaf shortly after he wrote his Third Symphony. Twenty years later, he wrote the Ninth Symphony, by which point he was completely deaf. He had created the Romantic Era, and the reason he wrote only nine symphonies instead of 46, like Mozart, was because he was deaf. Mozart was far more prolific than Beethoven, and because he served in the court of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, he was required to write more symphonies (even though his father infamously passed them off as his own). Mozart met Marie Antoinette when he was four and she was eight. When he himself turned eight, he performed for George III, and at ten, he performed for Louis XV. Beethoven was not so much as a Kapellmeister, but since Haydn, Mozart, and all Salieri taught him, it is no wonder he became a titan in his own right, despite being deaf.
