He did meet Mozart, he played for Mozart and Mozart said Beethoven was going to "astonish the world".

Why they didn't show when he met Mozart? :(

Is it just me or would Beethoven himself not be playing piano?

@WigsAndSwords1 What about the hand shake when Beethoven meets Hayden? Didn't they just do the bow thing?

The idea of having the "interviews" is lame as all fuck.

When Haydn asked Beethoven to put "Pupil of Haydn" on the work, he was trying to do him a favor, as publishers and the public would take more interest in a work that had the name of the most popular composer of the time on it.

@eddiemperor Maybe it's because is so uncertain he met Mozart that the BBC decided not to include that part of his life in the documentary.

@eddiemperor

There were no primary sources for the supposed meeting between Beethoven and Mozart - the story passed down to us from a biographer in the 19th century I believe. But Czerny does claim that Beethoven described what he remembered of Mozart's playing to him once. So I feel he most likely did meet Mozart or at least attended a performance. But the famous "he will give the world something to talk about" story is still unverified.
