You may already know this, but I find it interesting.

As Beethoven’s deafness grew dramatically worse, he began taking the legs off of his piano and setting the piano on the floor when he wanted to compose. He could tell what the notes were from the vibrations of the floor.

Yes, I learned that in College years ago when I took music appreciation. I needed 1 more credit to graduate and the instructor was young and very, very good looking. To tell the truth, I probably learned more then I ever expected. She was quite captivating, I am quite surprised I was able to hear above my panting.

I digress, the little factoid about Beethoven truly was an interesting observation to learn. Reminds me of the move with Richard Drefuss (sp?), "Mr. Holland Opus".
