Why did Beethoven go deaf? A classical music mystery! #music #classical #classicalmusic #musiclover

Beethoven didn’t put his ear to the piano, he installed a metal rod onto the piano and would bite down to feel the vibrations. Much more innovative than “listening closer”

[CowTrappedinAmber]

It’s crazy that he wrote music just based off of vibrations

[scaaaarf]

Beethoven didn't "listen closer" to the piano, he instead installed a metal rod that he could put in his mouth that was also attached to the piano, allowing him to feel the vibrations.

I learned this at school it’s shocking me still😮

I cried when my 9 year-old came back from school and told me Bedřich Smetana was deaf when he composed and played Vltava.
I listened to it with her. I felt devastated.

Just to clarify, Beethoven also wasn't deaf throughout all of his life. He started writing music around the age of 11, experienced hearing loss around 28, and by 1815, around the age of 44-45 (11 years before his death), he was completely deaf.

You want a haunting song to break down, listen to Michael Jackson's Ghosts from the album Blood on the dance floor.

Ever since I was a child, my Mother had me to listen to pretty much all the greatest music of all time through the 70s and 80s and beyond but listen in a very strange way, yes enjoy the music as a whole, but she was training me to be able to isolate each sound that made up the music from instruments to vocals, which is why I really love your channel because you are doing with software and computers what if been doing with my brain.

Like the piano part in little bitty pretty one by the Coasters, it's a repeating line but it really helps balance the song, it's buried back there but you can faintly hear it.

"Ghosts" is a very particular and peculiar song, it starts off I guess you would say okay, but around the 3:20 minute mark just into the second loop of the chorus just before it hits the harmonic choral at 3:43 and going into there through that vamp, there are some wildly interesting tones, and at one point it sounds like Micheal is talking in the extreme background. The entire song sounds so chilling I think because it stays in a Dorian tone, or better stile it stays in Dorian Mode throughout.

I happen to love this song, I hear different things in it when I give a listen, which means there's a lot going on in it. Just furthering the genius that was Michael Jackson.
The words are even melancholy in light of his passing.

If you've never heard it I highly advise you all to give it a listen one of the best most haunting songs that example and remain in a Dorian mode tonic, not a lot of songs can truly pull it off throughout the entirety, but this on does and it begs you to keep listening.

Anyway break that one apart you'll hear some chilling haunting sound, never mind the scream. Lol.
Thanks for reading ❤
