I have heard and read that he even had a piano's legs cut down so that the he could better feel the vibrations from the piano as he was composing. With his prior knowledge of sound (scales, notes, abosolute and relative pitch) he could continue to compose and "know" what it would sound like without having to hear it clearly instead he could feel it.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
