The more Beethoven's hearing loss got worse, the more his music become more mature and beautiful. Despite his illness, he composed more music and served as the bridge between classical and romantic period. Mad respect.

[katrinat.]

Severely deaf and he wrote the 5th symphony, one of the most glorious and triumphant pieces of music ever written. Then completely deaf he writes the ninth. Mic drop

[mikebaginy]

Beethoven truly was a genius. His hearing loss was a tragedy. I pass the house of his birth almost daily, as I live in Bonn, Germany. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Ode to Joy when completely deaf... Moved to tears, Vin... How can i complain or feel miserable in my small matters? Thank you so much for putting much in perspective. This brilliant man, musical genius, with a giant heart... Wonderful, deeply profound video, speaking volumes without saying a word. Thank you, Vin-- you are a genius, too, with the good heart of a loving father, teacher, and musician. What a great start to my day! Maybe more of this type of video showing the progression of a composer's work. Thank you, and bravo, Maestro ✨🏆👏♥️

[AerialSRT]

I love that you put his hearing sense status in each period, Very nice

[catfishcave]

The best six minute introduction to Beethoven ever. I will use this when neophytes ask me who is Beethoven.

Beethoven is a stupendous genius, and it seems that his deafness made his works even more impressive and beautiful than when he could hear!

[warrengday]

Great to hear you play the 5th symphony.
Thanks for putting these iconic works into context against his ability to hear at the time: esp. "moonlight", Fur Elise and 5th symphony.
I heard recently his deafness was due to lead toxicity, from recently measuring the amount of lead in a clipping of his hair.

[sesshoumarusama]

You can feel the heaviness in the music when he was around 30 and strugged with the impending loss of hearing. I guess he ever really accepted it and wanted to proof to everybody, that nothing can stop him ... putting beauty and richness into the music, by just imagine it, while some never ever be able to hear for himself.

He is as good as he used to be. He is really a good pianist

[esra_erimez]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how talented Vinheteiro is?

[Revan]

This is with this composer that you realize the level of musical theory. You can hear what you imagine in your mind.

[lastcenturyclassics]

The Lord is a genius being able to play all music put in front of his hands. I'm 80% deaf, and love deep sounds. Need a hearing aid to understand talking. 😁

[zerosiii]

Incredible.. instead of allowing this sickness to drive him to madness (and you can see the glimses of it through moonlight sonata 3rd movement), he slowly started revitalizing (fur elise) and then the crescendo with Ode to Joy, unbelievable

[JangianTV]

An absolute visionary! Beautifully played too, good Sir. 🫡

[DX-hz]

I may not know the context, but I was surprised by the tile Rage Over a Lost Penny. Thanks for providing the titles; I learned a lot of songs that I've only heard.

[Toldi_Nalini]

То, что он писал столь невероятную музыку будучи глухим, лишь говорит о его невероятной способности понимать музыку и проигрывать еë у себя в голове, даже не слыша ни ноты. Это как слепой архитектор, что не видит всей картины, но чертит великолепное здание, просто исходя из своего огромного опыта... Невероятный человек с трагичной судьбой...

[evervigilant]

Well played sir. That was the most engaging video I have watched in a long time. A true gem amongst a huge pile of filler. 👍👍

[touchsky]

I am deeply moved, stunned, 😭 wordless....

[alandale]

Such a wonderful concept; so beautifully executed! Thank you for this delightful and thought-provoking performance..
