Task 7
1. The description of Beethoven's behaviour in the performance
shows that he was deaf. Can you find the hints
Why did most of the audience have no idea that he was deaf
The audience might think Beethoven was deeply lost in his own music.
These hints show he was deaf:
2. How did Caroline feel when she said “The one person in the room who didn't hear the symphony - and never would - was the very man who composed it.”
She felt, among other feelings, very very sorry that Beethoven couldn't hear the music he composed. It was such a pity and she might feel it unfair to him. She must have wished Beethoven was not deaf.
3. Do you think Beethoven is a genius
What’s your understanding of “Genius”
In my opinion, Beethoven is a genius because he not only has strong will to fight against difficulties in life, but also he is crazy about music.
Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.
Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.
