The nervous 17-year-old was introduced to Mozart, and playedto him at his request.

Turning quietly to thebystanders, Mozart said, " Mark that young man, he will make himself a namein the world ! ".Beethoven’s 9th Symphony (also one of his most complex pieces) was writtenwhen he was almost entirely deaf. But even so, he insisted on conducting thefirst performance of this masterpiece.
