Beethoven's 250th Birthday In 2020

The loudest composer, ’tis clear, was Beethoven - man of the year. The Germans are proud of music that’s loud because Ludwig van couldn’t hear.

Tis true, he did have a hearing problem, which makes his accomplishments more amazing. Glad he wrote the 5th instead of drinking it. I wish more people would read your humor, but all that really matters is that you're having fun with compositions of your own.

Lin, if he hadn't been deaf, he might not have written such stupendous music. When a door closes, another is likely to open.
