Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The book offers a comprehensive study of Beethoven's life and his deafness, which emerged in his late 20s but only became widely evident years later. The author analyzes Beethoven's music, both his works for the piano and his symphonies, to show how his deafness shaped his compositional style. The author shows how his condition forced him to find new ways to express himself, a process that saw the expansion and enrichment of his musical output. For instance, Beethoven extended key relationships, using more remote keys than had been typical, in addition to experimenting with innovative harmonic progressions. Furthermore, his music became more expressive and personal than ever; his deafness isolated him socially, deepening his introspective nature and increasing the intensity of his creative vision.
