the music is awesome, and the concerts rock, but a lot of the other people just take up space
what do you play?

I played the violin for 5 years until I was 15, then I had had enough. Loved concerts, loved orchestra, loved chamber, couldn't stand practice.
How is it that you're more of a musical genious because you're deaf? I'm sure that Mozart could have done the same. Let's not forget just how talented those guys really are. I don't think Mozart would have needed the ability to hear any more than Beethoven. It's not like Beethoven was born deaf after all, which makes a big difference.
Yes but mozart's versatility sets him aside as the greatest musical genius of all time (Beety stunk it up in opera), someone mentioned J.S Bach and i would rate him as the third behing the two titans. The following is my top 10:
1) Mozart
2) Beethoven
3) J.S Bach
4) Chopin
5) Tchaikovsky
6) Rachmaninoff
7) Verdi
8) Schumann
9) Debussy
10) Haydn

1) Mozart

@Dan: I heard that too.
@Martin: I think that is part of the explanation too. The truely awesome mathematicians in the world don't see algebra when they look at equations - they "see" functions. In the same way, your bona fide musical genius doesn't see sheet music - he "hears" it.
(Have you ever read Godel, Echer and Bach by Hoffstatter? Really interesting book, mostly on Godel's incompleteness theorem, but all of the mathematical themes are linked to Echer's drawings, Bach's music and Lewis Carroll-like stories.)
