Question

Identify the following music composer who was deaf:

• A. Beethoven L. V.
• B. Bach J. S.
• C. Richard Strauss
• D. Johannes Brahms

Hint:

Beethoven’s late compositions are masterpieces created without hearing — a unique feat in music history.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist.
In his late twenties, Beethoven began losing his hearing.
Despite becoming almost completely deaf later in life, he composed some of his most famous works during that time, including Symphony No. 9.
Other composers like Bach and Brahms did not suffer from deafness.
Thus, Beethoven’s resilience made him a symbol of creative genius.
