 When Beethoven died, the weather even sort of noted 1 the event. There was a rare thunderstorm and snowstorm and there was a crash of lightning and thunder and... Beethoven opened his eyes and sort of raised up his fist and the Viennese look it as a portent 2 of something great had happened. A great man had died. During the lying in state, all of Beethoven's hair was cut off as souvenirs. What happened to the hair later is that the lockets of hair were put into frames and kept by the people that were friends of Beethoven. Nowadays, the attraction of the locket of hair, I think primarily, is that it allows people 200 years later to be in the presence of Beethoven again in a physical way.


 
 
 
Here it is.OK. There it is. Well, too light. OK. Now, it's sealed with this inscription 3 onto the paper: this hair was taken by my father Dr Hailer on the day after the Ludwig Van Beethoven's death from Beethoven's corpse 4.
 
Here it is, it was a vacuum. I have a medical practice, and I see a lot of patients but seldom do I get to treat Beethoven posthumously 5. For me, it's 10 percent science, 90 percent emotion.
 
Look at there, the brown is more... intense, intense here, his hair's color
 
I am no one special, but he has affected 6 me in a very personal way when everything else is lost and you really think you are alone, which happens to you frequently. You are never really alone if you listen to Beethoven. At least I'm never alone because I always have Ludwig Van.
 
Two hundred years since the birth of Beethoven, his music still speaks as he expressed it from the heart to the heart. Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in this house, possibly in this room. A hundred thousand people climb these stairs every year drawn 7 by love of his music. They particularly want to see the room where this extraordinary spirit came into the world. Not wanting to disappoint them, museum staff have labeled this the birth room, but they are guessing / by their guessing.   It's a shrine 8 to a composer whose music has inspired pilgrimage and passion across time and now across different cultures.
