I have just discovered Hershey - he is such an incredible personality encompassing so many different things at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can imagine what fun and a sense of completeness is to be around him! I can't wait to hear him speak and perform again. Unfortunately, I am disabled, so I can listen to him only on KZfaq and the like, but I do not complain. I am very happy to be able to hear and watch him bring so much of his abilities to the viewers! By the way, I am 77!

Gosh, I just love listening and watching Hershey Felder to no end. I have come to know about him when I watched "In Search of Chopin". Today, our lives would have been so dramatically different if Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and the rest didn't exist. Can we imagine "IF" they took the easy way to not continue their works....if they just simply gave up, caved in called it quit. . . Thank you! Beethoven!!!

He needs to come to the #1 music school in the USA, namely Eastman School of Music & perform with our Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of our Maestro, Ward Stare.

This is such an incredible human being, so talented, so insightful, so brilliant! He is my hero and my idol. I only wish I had seen all his performances but alas, only Gershwin, Beethoven, Berlin and most recently, Debussy. Bravo Hershey, long may you live and bring such joy to all of us

Good talk. First time I've heard anyone talk about his Father's beatings being tied to his deafness. FYI, he is incorrect in saying Beethoven went suddenly deaf, it took decades.

@mellocello187 5 жыл бұрын

He was completely deaf by 31, so, not decades. It was ot all that gradual.

@lvb1770 5 жыл бұрын

He was NOT completely deaf by 31 and the proof is in his letters from 1801, when he was 31. Beethoven states that he could still hear but it was getting worse.

@lvb1770 5 жыл бұрын

MelloCello, the proof he was NOT completely deaf by 31 is in the history as well as his letters. Beethoven's hearing problems started when he was approximately 21 and he wasn't totally deaf until his late 40's, so it WAS gradual and it DID take decades. He conversation books started in 1818 when he was 48. Beethoven performed the 4th piano concerto with little hearing issues at the Marathon concert of 1808, he was 38. He did not even start using hearing trumpets until 1812. So, you are incorrect.

I'm not sure felder says or infers that he was completely deaf at 31 what felder does refer to (having seen this production) is that the Heiligenstadt Testament refers to his 26th birthday, as the beginning of his hearing issues, that would be 1796. For complete deafness, it took quite a few years, (probably fifteen) but not decades. I did not not catch Felder saying that he was completely deaf by 31, but that he was very deaf by 31.

@lvb1770 5 жыл бұрын

I'm not going to argue anymore about this. The proof is in Beethoven's letters and in his conversations books. I've read all of them over many decades myself, many times so NO ONE can tell me otherwise about Beethoven's deafness. If you don't believe me go read the letters and conversation books yourself.Bye bye...
