How did Beethoven know what he was playing if he was deaf?
In: Other
He became deaf. He was not deaf from birth. So he had heard all the instruments play all different kind of music before he became deaf. He was very intimately familiar with how each instrument sounded as he had worked with music all his life. As he started to lose his hearing towards the end of his life he could rely on this information and could imagine how the music sounded just by reading the sheets.
