Ludwig van Beethoven was a world-famous composer, born in 1770 in Germany. But did you know he was deaf?
During his life, he wrote many different pieces of music for orchestras. As well as writing music, he played several instruments, including the piano and the violin.
Beethoven had some famous teachers--like Haydn and Mozart. They all saw his amazing musical abilities from an early age. When he lived in Vienna, Austria, he often played the piano in the homes of very important people.
Unfortunately, he lost his hearing completely by the age of 40.
He continued to play the piano, but it was very difficult for him to hear the higher notes. So, he started to listen to the movement of the lower strings of the piano, instead of listening to the high notes.
Amazingly, he is most famous for some of the pieces of music he wrote after he lost his hearing! Many people around the world continue to play his music.
