Beethoven, rightly or not, felt his brother’s widow unfit to raise a child and applied for, and won, sole custody. Beethoven’s fitness to raise his nephew—clearly a fulfillment of a long-frustrated wish in itself—may also be questioned; indeed, the difficulties between the two weighed heavily on the composer’s final years, culminating in Karl’s unsuccessful suicide attempt in 1826.

Did Beethoven's Hearing Loss Shape His Compositions? Now, new research in the Dec. 20 issue of BMJ suggests that the progression of his deafness may have shaped his musical style. Researchers from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands analyzed three styles of Beethoven's compositions. In a letter to his doctor in 1801, Beethoven first mentioned his hearing loss. He began to communicate through writing in notebooks in 1818, and researchers believe he was deaf by 1825. As Beethoven developed high-frequency hearing loss, the famed composer began to favor middle- and low-frequency notes that he could hear better during performances.

Most of them were unaware that he was going deaf.
