Comments
Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the best composers of all time. When Beethoven was in his late twenties, he began to lose his hearing. This was a devastating experience for him. Incredibly, however, Beethoven’s hearing loss did not stop him from producing some of his finest musical works. We read about hearing loss in Wonderstruck. Students should be able to find connections between Beethoven and one of the characters in Wonderstruck.
