Beethoven and his deafness is another example. His condition profoundly effected his music, listen to Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement, when played by the right pianist you can feel his loss and frustration.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoThat's interesting because I think his Ninth (most famous for his use of the poem Ode to Joy) is just incredible, well, so does everyone else in the world too I guess. But he was already at his peak deafness in 1812, six years before the Ninth. I always thought of it as a big ol' F-U to his deafness. On the other hand, perhaps the Moonlight Sonata, in 1802, was sad because that's when he started to lose his hearing, and by 1818 he had accepted it.
