not 1820s but 1920s

不是1820 是1920
It's a fanciful representation of Beethoven

它以幻想的风格展现了贝多芬
and his musical study there with papers all around

画中贝多芬在纸堆里研究音乐
You see the ear trumpets on either side;

可以看到双耳戴助听器
he is growing deaf

说明他已经聋了
You see his bowl of coffee or porridge or whatever on the keyboard

可以看到键盘上的一碗咖啡还是粥
I'm interested here particularly in the piano,

最有趣的是他的钢琴
because what do we have back there coming out of the piano?

你们看钢琴上是怎么了
A lot of broken strings, okay,

有很多断弦对吧
and that's important because when he played

这很重要因为在他弹钢琴时
he would frequently break strings

经常会将弦弹断
Here, let's move on to the next slide
