#36 Episode 36 – Ludwig van Beethoven

Loading player...

At the age of 22, Ludwig van Beethoven composed the world famous “Ode to Joy” that is now the anthem of the European Union. An audio play leads the listeners out of the Beethoven house and straight into the 18th century. Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most famous citizens of the town of Bonn. Paula and Philipp present an audio play about the composition of his well-known 9th Symphony and the greatest stroke of fate in the life of the famous composer: the loss of his hearing. When someone doesn’t understand something, it makes sense to repeat what was said. The professor deals with indirect speech in subordinate clauses with the conjunction “dass”.
