When writing a thesis statement you want to make sure you avoid just making a declarative sentence like "Beethoven would be nothing without his friendship with Joseph Hadyn." Also, you don't want to just describe what you are talking about, i.e. "This is a paper that looks at Beethoven and Joseph Hadyn's friendship. You want to make a claim that what you are writing about offers a good example or illustration of something critical to the study of history. This would read something more like "Beethoven and Joseph Hadyn's close friendship demonstrates the importance of personal relationships to the development of classical music in the early nineteenth century." Does that make sense?

And I'm not suggesting you should write your paper on their friendship. I think studying Beethoven's income and his relationship with his patrons could provide you with some pretty interesting material. How does a musician actually provide for himself? Is he constrained by the desires of his royal patrons?
