After reading the book , I feel that Ludwig's father is too hard on him. Because he forces Ludwig , a child of only 3, to practise playing the piano everyday . Although Ludwig makes great achievement when he grows up , it is harmful to him without a happy childhood . when he loses his hearing , I feel pitiful for him , for a great talent is spoiled . To my great surprise , he cheers up later, and carry on composing . I feel much relieved .
