Beethoven

     

Because of Beethovens deafness his musical output changed. In his early years when his hearing was good he wrote music to get accolades from his audiences. In his later years, as his hearing deteriorated, he ended up writing music for himself.

Beethoven's latter works were very advanced and almost too innovative for audiences of that time. Because the music was so different than the popular music of the time even professional musicians were slow to grasp his music.
