Special Feature
A special audio feature was created for CSI: Beethoven© by Johns Hopkins renowned otolaryngologist and music expert, Dr. Charles Limb. A computer-generated audio simulation mimics how Beethoven would have heard his own music at different stages of his hearing loss. Using highlights from the Sixth Symphony, the computer-generated recording juxtaposes live orchestral excerpts with computer simulations enabling the audience to experience the challenges Beethoven faced as a composer.
