贝多芬是伟大的自由之声,也许是当时德意志思想界惟一的自由之声。他自己也感到,他时常提起,他的责任是把他的艺术来奉献于“可怜的人类”,“将来的人类”,为他们造福利,给他们勇气,唤醒他们的迷梦,斥责他们的懦怯。他写信给侄子说:“我们的时代,需要有力的心灵把这些可怜的人群加以鞭策。”

一八二七年,米勒医生说“贝多芬对于政府、警察、贵族,永远自由发表意见,甚至在公众面前也是如此。……一八一九年他几被警察当局起诉,因为他……政治方面也是一样的毫无顾忌,很大胆地抨击他的政府之腐败。他特别指斥几件事情:法院组织的专制与依附权势,程序繁琐,完全妨害诉讼的进行;警权的滥用;官僚政治的腐化与无能;颓废的贵族享有特权,霸占着国家最高的职位。……英国的乐队指挥西普里亚尼·波特,一八一七年到维也纳,说:“贝多芬用尽一切诅咒的字眼痛骂奥国政府。他一心要到英国来看看下院的情况。他说:‘你们英国人,你们的脑袋的确在肩膀上。’”(一八一四年拿破仑失败,列强举行维也纳会议,重行瓜分欧洲。奥国首相梅特涅雄心勃勃,颇有只手左右天下之志。对于奥国内部,厉行压迫,言论自由剥削殆尽。其时欧洲各国类皆趋于反动统治,虐害共和党人。……贝多芬晚年的政治思想,正反映一八一四至一八三零年间欧洲知识分子的反抗精神。读者于此,必须参考当时国际情势,方能对贝多芬的思想,有一估价准确之认识。)

因此,什么都不能使这股不可驯服的力量屈膝。如今它似乎玩弄痛苦了。在此最后几年中所写的音乐,虽然环境恶劣,例如侄子之自杀。往往有一副簇新的面目,嘲弄的,睥睨一切的,快乐的。他逝世以前四个月,在一八二六年十一月完成的作品,作品第一三零号的四重奏的新的结束是非常轻快的。实在这种快乐并非一般人所有的那种。时而是莫舍勒斯所说的嬉笑怒骂;时而是战胜了如许痛苦以后的动人的微笑。总之,他是战胜了。他不相信死。

小题1:文中说“战胜了如许痛苦以后…….”请联系全文说出贝多芬早年(童年、少年)时期所遭受的苦难(至少说四点)。(4分)
