【英音模仿秀】维也纳钢琴的陨落

❤ 模仿文本：We also know that Beethoven had an affinity¹ for English pianos. An unsuspected gain if he's going a little bit deaf in his wanting tone² and sound. It's because they had a louder richer resonate sound and were probably more suited to his hearing possibilities and the music he was wanting to create at that time. So we know that he had a good relationship with the Broadwood company. They sent him instruments and he had fairly³ strong ties with the England for one reason or another. And so he knew his English instruments as well.
