People very often think that Beethoven was very slow at composing. It took a long time, whilst Mozart could dash off a piece very quickly. Obviously improvisation has demonstrated he could invent music extraordinary rapidly. His music was more complex than Mozart's. And it gets more complex as he goes on and this is partly through the sketching process.
In 1796 or 97, Beethoven had suffered a serious illness, possibly meningitis.

"My ears continue to hum and buzz day and night," He wrote, "I can hear sounds, it's true, but cannot make out the words."

He first noticed that his hearing was going, when he was around 28 years of age at the height of his early fame, producing great works. Suddenly he knew his hearing was beginning to go. The doctors said don't worry about it, it's a bit of wax, it'll be all right. But it kept getting worse and it lasted, in fact, I mean he was not fully deaf, stone-deaf as we would call it, until his final years.他(贝多芬)漫步在乡间,手里拿着手写纸和铅笔,如果他有了什么新奇的想法,他会迅速记下来。人们经常会认为贝多芬作曲十分慢,但很明显,他的即兴作曲格外的快。他的音乐比莫扎特的要更加复杂。而且他的音乐会越来越复杂化,有一部分在他的修改草图中。
在1796年或者1797年,贝多芬生了一场大病,可能是髓膜炎。
“我的耳朵日夜不停的响着嗡嗡声。”他说,“我的确可以听到声音,但是无法听清话语。”
他初次意识到他的听力渐渐减弱是在他28岁,也就是他早期获得名声的高点并创作了很多伟大的作品的时候。突然,他意识到他的听力开始消失。医生说:“不要担心,只是有点耳垢,听觉会没事的。”但听力一直不停的在变差,事实上,他最后一点也听不到了,就像我们所说的完全听不到了。
