Excerpt from Beethoven a Biographical Romance Do not the ruins of Lowenberg greet you solemnly, telling you of the famous old race of the nobles of Heinsberg and their deeds, of William IV. and his cruel death, of the reformers Melancthon and Bucer, who for a long time found hospitality and protection behind these walls, then so firm and proud? And what a marvellous story of the beautiful Agnes of Mansfield, and the Elector Gebhard, do the breezes bring from over there. It is really worth the trouble to listen to all these mysterious whisperings which the seven old comrades up yonder entrust to the breezes, and which these garrulously bring over to the solemn Godesberg and it proud crown of walls. To Godesberg and its ruin a merry company was now on its way. It consisted of Frau Von Breuning, the widow of the Electoral Hofrath Von Breuning, with her two sons, Stephan and Christoph, and her daughter, Eleonore, an intimate friend of the latter, the lovely little Rosa, and the family friends, Ries, Wegeler, and Beethoven. That there should be mirth among this little company was a matter of course. Frau Von Breuning was herself cheerful, and still young, and knew how to live with these young people who surrounded her. Stephan was sixteen years of age, Christoph and Ludwig Van Beethoven, fifteen, and the two girls were just entering their fourteenth year. Only one older man, the worthy Chamber-Musician and Director of the Electoral Chapel, had, as usual, joined the merry circle. He was indeed counted almost a member of the Breuning family, whose comforter and adviser he had been since the death of the Hofrath. In the favorable seasons of the year, it was one of the chief pleasures of this family to take walks in the glorious surrounding country, for sensibility to the beauties of nature was natural to them, as, in fact, was receptivity for everything good and beautiful. These impulses proceeded from Frau Von Breuning. To her merry disposition she added strict moral principle and a well-rounded character, rare in a woman especially at that time, the last decade of the previous century, in which the corruption prevalent in almost all the German courts reacted so contagiously upon the masses.

Sunday Times Classical Music Book of the Year 'Magisterial, warm, and engaging . . . A triumph of scholarship and musical affinity . . . Jan Swafford is to be saluted.' Independent Jan Swafford's biographies of composers Charles Ives and Johannes Brahms have established him as a revered music historian, capable of bringing his subjects vibrantly to life. His magnificent new biography of Ludwig van Beethoven peels away layers of legend to get to the living, breathing human being who composed some of the world's most iconic music. Swafford mines sources never before used in English-language biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenment-era Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, capital of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and 'fate's hammer', his ever-encroaching deafness. At the time of his death he was so widely celebrated that over ten thousand people attended his funeral. This book is a biography of Beethoven the man and musician, not the myth, and throughout, Swafford - himself a composer - offers insightful readings of Beethoven's key works. More than a decade in the making, this will be the standard Beethoven biography for years to come.

“An ideal ‘first book’ on Beethoven” from one of the world’s most eminent classical music aficionados (Booklist). Beethoven scholar and classical radio host John Suchet has had a lifelong, ardent interest in the man and his music. Here, in his first full-length biography, Suchet illuminates the composer’s difficult childhood, his struggle to maintain friendships and romances, his ungovernable temper, his obsessive efforts to control his nephew’s life, and the excruciating decline of his hearing. This absorbing narrative provides a comprehensive account of a momentous life, as it takes the reader on a journey from the composer’s birth in Bonn to his death in Vienna. Chronicling the landmark events in Beethoven’s career—from his competitive encounters with Mozart to the circumstances surrounding the creation of the well-known “Für Elise” and Moonlight Sonata—this book enhances understanding of the composer’s character, inspiring a deeper appreciation for his work. Beethoven scholarship is constantly evolving, and Suchet draws on the latest research, using rare source material (some of which has never before been published in English) to paint a complete and vivid portrait of the legendary prodigy. “A gripping and thought-provoking read.” —Howard Shelley, pianist and conductor “By exercising a genuine authority in identifying how Beethoven, the man, manifests himself in our appreciation of the music, Suchet brings an incisive freshness to an extraordinary life.” —Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, Principal of the Royal Academy of Music

With unprecedented access to the archives at the Beethoven House in Bonn, Jan Caeyers expertly weaves together a deeply human and complex picture of Beethoven-his troubled youth, his unpredictable mood swings, his desires, relationships, and conflicts with family and friends, the mysteries surrounding his affair with the 'immortal beloved, ' and the dramatic tale of his deafness. Caeyers also offers new insights into Beethoven's music, showing how it transformed from the work of a skilled craftsman to that of a consummate artist. Demonstrating an impressive command of the vast scholarship on this iconic composer, Caeyers brings Beethoven's world alive with elegant prose, memorable musical descriptions, and a vivid depiction of Bonn and Vienna, where Beethoven produced and performed his works.
