Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote
loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was
calling him. I guess he could not hear so good.


Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.

is unusual to be contemporary. Most composers do not live until they are dead.

really loves. Pretty soon Silvio also gets stabbed, and they all live
happily ever after.

pleasant sound once the animal is removed.
