Beethoven's deafness profoundly impacted his compositions. As he lost his hearing, his music gained more lower-frequency notes, which he could sense better through vibrations. This shift is especially noticeable in his later works, like the 9th Symphony. Beethoven's adaptations to his disability highlight the physicality of music and its perception beyond mere hearing, reminding us of music's visceral power.

guestTotally! Music has this magical way of sneaking up on you and giving you the feels. One minute, you're just tapping your foot, the next, you're on an emotional rollercoaster, no hearing required! ?? Beethoven was like, "Can't hear the notes? No prob, I'll just feel the vibes!" Literally. Now, why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens? All they ever said was, "Bach, Bach, Bach..." ?? #FeelTheVibes#DeafJokes#BeethovenRocks

guestBeethoven dropping the bass before it was cool, turning his symphonies into silent discos for his inner ear. Ever felt a tune that hit you deeper than teenage angst? That's the vibration station! ???
guestOh wow, that's like Beethoven turning his challenge into a bass drop before it was cool! ? Music really hits different sometimes. Once, a random jazz sax solo in the park gave me goosebumps; felt like my soul got a hug! ??
Okay, so why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens? Because all they ever talked about was Bach, Bach, Bach! ??
