Beethoven suffered from many ills during his life, the most well known being deafness, but others included bouts of depression and serious stomach disorders.  More recent analysis of his remains shows that he may have also suffered from lead poisoning.

Burke's disease is a term coined by George Frazier to refer to successful people exagerating their past successes.  I'm pretty sure it's not an actual medical condition :)

I would say ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) because it traps you inside your limp body, sort of like being buried alive, and for a long time. Look at poor Stephen Hawking... a brilliant mind trapped in a useless shell, that would totally suck.

He had a massive heart attack while he was sleeping. The autopsy also revealed that he had a slight case of heart disease. To the person that wrote that hurtful comment about Gerald eating fatback, I work in the medical field and seen people who ate healthy and still had a heart attack from stress alone. I am sorry that he passed away because he was a very talented artist and from  what I have heard from those that knew him that he was a very nice person.

Many years ago, I met a man who had Guillain-Barré Syndrome. He has since died (of a heart attack, not GBS). He didn't talk too much about it, but did say that it made him feel very weak. He was still ambulatory, not confined to a wheelchair. Sometimes, even after just a small amount of walking, he would pant for breath. He said several times that it also caused trouble with his going to the bathroom, due to a lack of muscle control.\n\nYou've probably already seen this, but here's a description of the symptoms of GBS:\n\nhttp://www.guillain-barre.com/overview.html

Ataraxia - Slevin says this is a condition characterized by an inability to feel fear, worry, or preoccupation.  According to Wikipedia (that wonderful source of info!), this isn't a recognized mental condition.  More likely, Slevin's character is educated enough to know that this is an ancient Greek term for the level of consciousness one must achieve before reaching hedonism (total pleasure).  If hedonism for Slevin means getting to tortuously murder the men who destroyed his family, then it's fair to suggest that he is one dark hero!  What a cool movie, though.  And yeah, I wish I had that disease, too.  Does it come with all the quirky comebacks??  That would be AWESOME!

He was a Baroque composer (pronounced buh-ROKE).  For most of his life he was a church organist, sometimes in the employ of the nobility.  He was also a music teacher.

perhaps he has a learning disability.  A lot of people with a learning disability are extremely intelligent people.  I'd have him be tested.  It could do wonders.

He was best at composing shorter pieces for the piano.\n\nAnd he wasn't that good at composing music for the orchestra.\n\nIn his piano concertos, the orchestra was more of a back-up to the piano, rather than an important part of the music.\n\nAnother reason could be that his intimate style did not fit well with the symphonic form. \n\nI believe the main reason is that he was best at composing for the piano. He expressed all he needed to express with just that instrument and he didn't feel that he needed to use other forms and instruments to express himself. The  piano was enough.
