In his late twenties his hearing began to rapidly deteriorate and continued to do so until he was completely deaf. Yet, due to his amazing musical knowledge, he was able to tell how a symphony would sound even without his hearing and continued to write them even after he was completely deaf. Some of his most famous pieces include "F�r Elise", the "Ode to Joy", the "Moonlight Sonata", and his Fifth and Ninth symphonies. The other three were also very important and notable composers.
