Because when I look up "Does anybody living today have the last name of Mozart" quite a few results show up of people living today still bearing the last name of Mozart. This suggests that maybe like with Bach, there are living direct descendents of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's grandfather but we just don't know much about the Mozart bloodline except the part that leads to Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's father.

      Random person on youtube
      In the German language, w’s will most likely be pronounced as the v sound, so the word wasser (German for water) will be pronounced like “vosser” and the way j’s are pronounced has a rule as well. Jungen (Boys) will be pretty much pronounced as “youngen” due to the y sound replacing the j sound.
      Edit: the word “Ja” (yes) will sound like ya, which is pretty good for English as well, so that’s good to know.

    His father never hit him. He was rude, yelled at him, woke him in the middle of the night to play, but that's it. There's also the hypothesis that he had a child with Josephine, who's the best candidate to be the immortal beloved from the letter. She had a daughter, called Minona when she was separated from her husband, and the child has been conceived around the time she and Beethoven were in Prague at the same time. If you take a look at Minona's photography, you can see a resemblance with Ludwig. Nothing has confirmed this, but Josephine never told anyone who the father was, not even Minona (or she never wanted to tell anyone either).

    The name was Ludwig von Beethoven in stead of Ludwig van Beethoven. "von" is German, "van" is Dutch. Translated it would be "from".

    @caterscarrots3407 6 лет назад

    I have tried to look up if there are any Bachs left or if there are any Mozarts left and while Bach's family tree is super complicated, Mozart's is simple and it quickly leads me to an answer of inconclusive. Yeah, the only lineage I can find is that towards Leopold Mozart, who isn't to say that there are possibly people related to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's great grandfather living today that still bear the last name Mozart? And when I look up something along the lines of "Does anyone have the last name Mozart that is living" and surprisingly, I get quite a few results. Though these people certainly aren't descended from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, they could still be distant, distant relatives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Or it could be that there have been multiple separate lineages with the last name of Mozart, who knows?

    There are probably still Beethovens. A quick genealogical search (gw.geneanet.org/jlerminiaux?lang=en&p=ludovicus&n=van+beethoven), this is the grandfather. But you have to travel back a long time for the other branches that survived Ludwigs branch. I found a Michel and Jean van Beethoven, born in 1950 and 1953, brothers. Also an Emilius van Beethoven, married around 1900, and having 5 sons. Their common ancestor is Aert (Arnold) van Beethoven (1535-1609). Ludwig is a descendant from eldest son Hendricx (via Mark, Cornelis, Michiel, Ludovicus, Johan to Ludwig). The others descended from younger sons Lambert and Jan. Hermine, daughter of Karl and Caroline married Emil Axmann, they had a son named Egon Axmann (1881-1926). Karoline married Franz Weidinger, Marie with Paul Weidinger and Gabriele with Robert Heimler. The family more or less lived and lives in Belgium, the southern part of the Netherlands (I saw Wouw, close to the Belgian border), Northern France and Western Germany.

    There was and will only be one Beethoven. Nobody else has ever succeeded in doing what he did, and that's writing a orchestral, choral symphony while completely devoid of hearing. Nobody since his time has ever succeeded in interpreting Beethoven's work, but that's only because nobody else that ever interpreted his Ninth could conduct the entire thing while completely deaf quite like Ludwig did.

    While I get that the point of this video is to see if there are any people alive now with the last name Beethoven (or van Beethoven), it would be neat if you had tried to figure out if any of the female relatives' offspring were still around. They would still be related to him even if they have a different surname.
