Beethoven composed 'Für Elise' in 1810, just two years before losing his hearing in 1812. You might wonder how he could write music while deaf. Beethoven had spent three decades immersed in music, understanding how instruments and voices worked together. His hearing loss was gradual, allowing him to imagine how his compositions would sound.
HANDS Percussion's Tan Zhe Hao reimagines 'Für Elise' for the gamelan, along with Teuku Umar Ilany's 'Camaraderie.' This soul-stirring piece will be presented by HANDS and DeafBeat Malaysia. It poses a new challenge for Deafbeat to learn the gamelan this time. While they could rely on vibrations to learn the shigu drums, the gamelan offers no such assistance.
Music and art transcend time and space, igniting our imagination and love. Imagine what Beethoven, the great musician, would say if he knew his timeless masterpiece is rearranged and presented on the gamelan by HANDS and Deafbeat. All elements, initially seemingly unrelated, converge here and now.
