Topic | You actually expect me to believe that Beethoven was deaf? |
Entity13 05/04/23 2:14:54 AM #6: | From what I understand, the deafness came late in life, possibly from mercury poisoning. I'd have to look up the details at some point, but Ludvig's hearing was fine until around the 6th or 7th Symphony. The loss didn't become apparent until the 8th, and the 9th was his finale because he was at his limit, physically and mentally. If I heard wrong, then I heard wrong; like I said, I'd need to look it up. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
