You may not have known I was pregnant for several reasons. 1  You canât see me so you couldnât tell I that was already having problems tying my shoes. 2  It never really came up in a blog post. 3  With a couple miscarriages under my belt, I take my time on making baby announcements.
The story is told that Beethoven cut off the legs of the piano so he could hear the vibrations of the piano. This is perhaps not necessarily true, as many pianos of the time were made with removable legs so they could be carried into the various courts of the kings and emperors for performances.
Here's my list of famous piano players. I've added descriptions of their playing styles, as well as my favorite ones of the bunch at the end... Ludwig van Beethoven (Germany, 1770-1827). The great composer first became well-known as a piano virtuoso in his day, with a powerful and direct playing style. Frederic Chopin (Poland, 1810-1849). Chopin played with a soft, elastic delicateness. His playing style was very similar to his reserved, polite nature.
