I have to stop these let me fix that people so I gonna write something related to the comment: Its the the 3rd movement and if you can hear it your have good conditions to be a deaf musician.
Once he was nearly completely deaf, Beethoven used a metal plate to “hear” the vibrations of the keyboard. One end would be attached to the frame of the instrument and one end would be in his mouth, which he bit down on. It worked like those “singing” toothbrushes for kids which allow you to “hear” the music through your teeth when you press down. Same idea. Given his perfect pitch, it probably wasn’t much of a jump for his brain to associate distinct vibrations with distinct notes or chords. Now, would he have been able to hear exactly what was happening in dense textures such as the Moonlight Sonata? My guess would be a solid ‘no’, but during the composing stage he could at least cobble it together piece by piece. His genius mind and incredible inner ear would do the rest as he strung it out into a full composition, allowing him to score even for entire orchestras, let alone the piano. (Also, Moonlight was written in his Middle Period, years before he was almost completely deaf!) Great video! Got a chuckle out of me.

Beethoven went fully deaf at 44. He composed this piece when he was around 30, meaning he could still hear at the time of composing this, though his hearing was deteriorating.
This actually helps me intuitively understand the math of the rhythm by hearing only that, instead of the beautiful distracting melodies. Speaking of, with volume up that otherworldly echo of heavenly voices in the background is pleasantly eerie
I’ve been teaching myself moonlight sonata without any prior piano lessons/knowledge, but I’ve been practicing so much that I can just hear it and guess it from the hand positions 😂😂😂
Context: Beethoven was a great piano song creator. One day he lost his hearing but he could remember the notes so well he continued to make beautiful songs and play them almost perfectly.
Two issues with this comment 1. It's not called a "piano song creator", he was a composer 2. He didn't just lose his hearing one day, but gradually lost his ability to hear. In his early twenties, when he wrote this piece, his hearing loss was in its early stages so he would actually have been able to hear what he was playing
Apparently he stuck a metal rod under the hood of his piano, and then bit down on it. The vibrations hitting his skull allowed him to get an idea of what the music sounded like.
He used vibrations to literally feel his music. I remember hearing one of his first attempts at this was to cut the feet off an upright piano to better feel the vibrations through his feet.
Beethoven was a different beast. The whole thing where he rigged up a piece of metal to function like a tooth tunes so that he could still hear the music in his brain as he played the keys will always be one of the craziest moments of artistic adaptation/innovation I've ever heard of
Fun fact Beethoven began to lose his hearing around 1794 and only completely lost his hearing around 1814, when he was about 44 years old. This means more than 40 of the 722 pieces he wrote were done when he was completely deaf
Interesting fact about this piece. Beethoven actually wrote the beginning so it could be played by his lover. Later on when she broke up with him he wrote this secondary part so it would be too difficult for anyone but him to play
If i remember correctly he could barely hear the vibrations and was notorious for breaking pianos while composing because he would hit the keys so hard, and he was such a genius that he could hear the whole score in his head
Beethoven could hear btw, even at his deaf he could still hear some, he had very bad hearing at the end but still could hear that’s why he had that trumpet cone thing to help him hear better
My mother works at a school for the blind a deaf. I once heard she did an infusion for someone almost entirely deaf, but got ocular implants and could hear again. Apparently she was a musical savant, went to berklee and everything.
For those of you who don't get it breethoven went deaf and he (obviously) could no longer here sound, again he went deaf, but he still wrote music and when he made masterpiece he couldn't hear anything

I mean, kind of. He was able to feel it which isn't something you can show on a video
I think the sound is supposed to be the vibrations or like just touching the keys idk though
Someone should make a video format that supports haptic feedback and UA-cam should add it on the mobile app
He could hear some extremely high and low pitches. He was mostly deaf.

What happened to him to be deaf anyways?

The 3rd movement of the Moonlight sonata is recognizable even without sound 😂
Moonlight sonata 3rd movement is definitely my favourite piece of all time
Why does it sound better than the masterpiece itself?
He could still hear in his mind! ❤️
You can even feel it when you're not hearing it😮
“These vibrations are fireeeee” - Beethoven probably
This actually helps me intuitively understand the math of the rhythm by hearing only that, instead of the beautiful distracting melodies. Speaking of, with volume up that otherworldly echo of heavenly voices in the background is pleasantly eerie
What Beethoven heard was 10 times better. 😂🤣
When Beethoven wrote this he wasn't deaf
That‘s right
True.
oh that's a fair point but still hilarious lol
He was like sorta deaf at that point I’m pretty sure
@@qwerty.44 yes but he did hear something. So saying he heard nothing is simply wrong

Moonlight sonata! 3rd movement. Nice.

Biblically accurate Moonlight Sonata

For those who dont know what the so called masterpiece is , its the third movement of moonlight sonata , and is indeed a masterpiece

Didn't he feel the vibrations to write it? Thats some determination right there
yeah, his deafness surprisingly only was to piano notes. the sound of the keys being pressed were 100% audible and loud and clear to him

You can literally recognise it by his hand movements
"These vibrations feel good together" - Probably Beethoven
For those wondering, he's playing moonlight sonata movement 3

Moonlight sonata the third movement. What a masterpiece.😮
No Beethoven went deaf near the end of his life after he wrote his many masterpieces
Wait this is just making me realize that when I was a child I had a toy that played this song and I am just now realizing this
All he knows is he plays keys, it makes sounds and people get happy
Moonlight sonata 3rd movement
The fact I've heard this song enough times to understand what playing it looks like.
The thuds definitely help though

Beethoven was ACTUALLY the first dubstepper, we just couldn't hear it.

Ah yes Brahms lullaby

Fun fact: he mentioned that he can hear the notes that he plays in his head even though he was deaf
if you turn it up you can hear it, like its playing through headphones
I don't have perfect pitch or know the song. But the tempo of the key tapping really just. Is right.
Could Beethoven still imagine sound in his head? If he could I'd assume the pitch was extremely off.
I'm gonna assume you don't know how a piano works
A lovely moonlight sonata 3rd movement
He was felling the vibrations, he was felling his master pice
I don’t know how but I already know what song you’re playing
as a pianist I could still hear the notes
the fact i can understand what song this is. is crazy. i couldn't name it. but i know exactly what you're playing
Damn, didn’t realize that he heard the screams of the damned in the distance
Technically didn't he use a stick so he could hear the notes through the vibration?
