These are a couple of posts I had written in November 2015 that for some (unknown to me aren't in my blog here anymore and given that they weren't at all bad, I post them again.....for your pleasure...
Beethoven's personal crisis centering around his deafness. The period is noted for large-scale works expressing heroism and struggle; these include many of the most famous works of classical music. Middle period works include six symphonies (Nos. 3–8), the last three piano concertos, triple concerto and his only violin concerto, five string quartets (Nos. 7–11), the next seven piano sonatas including the Waldstein and Appassionata, and his only opera, Fidelio.
In learning about this magnificent composer’s life I realize that I’m very
much like him, was his inability to accept his hearing disability makes him
very close to me and my way of thinking.
Deafness is for a musician just like an athlete like me being hemiparetic,
unable to even walk or swim.
While I’m not going to compose music with the idea to make it eternal I
hope to be an inspiration for others with my fight to improve and heal my
injured brain.
