The Deaf Composer
Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They 1 him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he wrote and 2 his work because his notebooks are still 3 in museums and libraries, he always found it hard to 4 himself.
When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to 5 a strange humming in his ears. At first he 6 little attention; but it grew worse, and at last he went to the 7 , they gave him the worst news any 8 can bear: he was 9 going deaf. Beethoven was in despair; he was 10 that he was going to die.
He went away to the country, from where he wrote a long letter saying 11 to his brothers. In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. He longed to die, and said to 12 , "Come when you will, I shall meet you bravely.”
In fact, Beethoven did something braver than 13 . He gathered his 14 and went on writing music, 15 he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him 16 , after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been 17 before. Instead of the stately(高贵的)music that 18 musicians had written for their wealthy listeners. Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, 19 music, which reminds us of his 20 but courageous life. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.
