Beethoven moved up to 70 times which may shed some light on his popularity as a neighbor. Because writing all his friends all his new addresses had become a chore he told them to "just write - Beethoven, Vienna!" 

According to a few accounts Beethoven must have lived in quite a mess - listen to these quotes.

Did you know that Beethoven sometimes looked so scruffy that one time he was mistaken for a vagabond and taken into custody by the police? :)

After the missed opportunity of studying with Mozart (see previous video) another door opened for the young Ludwig van Beethoven.
