It seems that Beethoven was not a happy man. He lost his hearing after he had been composing music for many years and then his music took a dark turn. He was known for having bad moods – and for composing music that sounded ‘moody’.
Can you hear and see the ‘I feel so grumpy’ theme in this music video? Listen for the rhythm ‘ta ti-ti ta ta’ repeated over and over.
Unfortunately, one of our pets in the music room thinks that he is ‘Rathoven’ and has take to behaving like Beethoven and being grumpy himself!
