Is it true the Mozart was deaf at a time and still played piano by the vibrations in the floor? If so was he that good he could just reach up from the floor and play the piano? (lemmy.world)

Beethoven, and not his entire life. He is supposed to have been sticking his ear on the piano while he was playing it to feel the vibrations of the notes while he was composing some of his music.
