I am admiring this choice of freedom, apparently even Goethe submitted to the royalty, but Beethoven somehow survived and even managed to ignore deafness and kept going. 

"Prince, what you are, you are through chance and birth; what I am, I am through my own labor. There are many princes and there will continue to be thousands more, but there is only one Beethoven."

" Those are the words of a man truly not lacking in self-confidence. With them, Ludwig van Beethoven once put Prince Karl von Lichnowsky in his place. In the year 1800, the composer's noble patron had guaranteed him a yearly stipend of 600 guilders. Beethoven had just arrived in Vienna, and the funds were to bridge the gap until the composer earned a regular income.

That was never to happen. During his entire time in Vienna from 1792 until his death in 1827, Beethoven remained a freelance musician. Unlike most of his predecessors, he never had an official position at a court or in the service of the church.
