Expressions Definition
Beethoven and his contemporaries There is evidence that Haydn assigned his student composition exercises based on the Fux text Gradus ad Parnassum. During the course of the year, however, the relationship between the two men soured. According to contemporary accounts, the issue surfaced most notably upon the publication of Beethoven's first compositions, the Trios Op. 1. (See List of works by Beethoven). Wishing to assist the young composer, Haydn suggested that Beethoven include the phrase 'pupil of Haydn' underneath his name in order to garner advantage from Haydn's considerable fame. There is generally strong evidence of Haydn's goodwill toward Beethoven, including an interest in taking his pupil with him on his second London voyage, and the personal missives Haydn sent Beethoven's early patron Maximilian Francis of Austria, Elector of Cologne.

Beethoven Peninsula The Beethoven Peninsula (71°44'S"73 41°W') is deeply indented, ice-covered peninsula, 60 miles long in a northeast-southwest direction and 60 miles wide at its broadest part, forming the southwest part of Alexander Island, which lies off the southwestern portion of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Mendelssohn Inlet, the Brahms Inlet and the Verdi Inlet apparently intrude into it. The Bach Ice Shelf, Rossini Point and Berlioz Point are a bit away, on the Ronne Entrance from the Southern Ocean. (references)
Johann van Beethoven Johann van Beethoven was Ludwig van Beethoven's father. Descendant of a Flemish family of musicians and instrument makers from the Mechelen-Leuven area, he was the son of Louis van Beethoven (born in Mechelen, 1714, deceased in Bonn, 1773), Kapellmeister at the Electoral court at Bonn, and Maria Josepha Pall (married 1733). Ludwig van Beethoven is named after said Louis/Lodewijk/Ludwig van Beethoven. (references)
