Beethoven's first instrumental teacher was his father. He had the opportunity to go to Vienna where he met Mozart. Impressed with Beethoven's genius, Mozart gave him his first lesson in musical composition. Unfortunately, Beethoven was recalled to Bonn upon hearing of his mother's illness. By the time he returned to Vienna, Mozart had also died, and Haydn became Beethoven's next teacher.
