Fun Fact
Beethoven composed some of his greatest works after going completely deaf! He couldn’t hear a single note but used his deep understanding of music and felt vibrations through the piano. His Ninth Symphony—featuring “Ode to Joy”—was written in total silence, yet it remains one of the most powerful pieces ever created.
