Beethoven

the Man Revealed
Aug 18, 2014
"Though he suffered from deafness, Ludwig van Beethoven is considered one of the greatest composers of all time. While he had many admirers, he was often angry and sometimes cruel towards friends and associates. In this biography, journalist John Suchet delves into influences on Beethoven's personality, the education and training that helped form his musicianship, and the supportive relationships he had with others, including other musicians. Though he includes little musicological analysis of Beethoven's compositions, Suchet offers a sympathetic and informative study of his life."
