Deaf people sense vibration in the part of the brain that other people use for hearing - which helps explain how deaf musicians can sense music, and how deaf people can enjoy concerts and other musical events. These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when 'feeling' music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music. The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain.

Which classical music was deaf?

Ludwig van Beethoven, whose hearing began to deteriorate from the age of 28. He was very angry and sad about this and was said to have written notes declaring his suicide to his family. Fortunately, this did not happen. To express his sadness and anger, Beethoven composed many songs with such feelings expressed inside them. Beethoven wrote most of his music when he was at least partially deaf, and the music of his last years when he was completely deaf. Unlike Beethoven, Smetana went deaf quite suddenly and lived for another 10 years, during which he continued to compose a substantial amount of music (though not 'the majority' of his output).
