Legend has it that Beethoven cut off the legs of his piano so he could lay the instrument flat on the floor and hear the vibrations through the floor.
However, it was common for pianos of this time to have removable legs, as often musicians had to carry their instruments to court to entertain the nobility. Whether Beethoven used this ability to remove piano legs as an aid to hearing the vibrations remains a matter of conjecture. Much of the subtle qualities of the sound would have been lost. It is more likely that, like any true musician, he could hear the sounds clearly in his head.
