Excerpt from Beethoven
Attempts to trace the ancestry of ludvig van beethoven have been successful so far back as the middle of the seventeenth century, when a family bear ing that name, and related to the composer, lived in a small village near Louvain, in Belgium; and it was at about that time that one of the members quitted his village home and settled in Antwerp. Documentary evidence no less authoritative than the parish register shows that in 1685 the Beethovens were residing in the ancient city; the migration having, as a matter of fact, taken place some thirty-five years before that date. There the composer's grandfather - also flamed Ludvig Beethoven - was born. In the qualities of energy, independence, and musical ability eafly mani fested by this progenitor, persons fond of tracing the influence of heredity in the lives of the world's greatest men - a subject very frequently illustrated in the pages of musical biography - Will find material ready to hand. Whether or not Ludvig quarrelled with his family.
