Notes and Editorial Reviews
By the age of seven, Ludwig van Beethoven was a child prodigy. By the time of his premature death, 30,000 mourners turned out for his funeral. Today, Germany’s greatest composer is no less than a musical legend.
From Bonn to Vienna, we examine his remarkable music and bittersweet life of the man who brought classical music into the Romantic era – a true master who continued to compose, perform and conduct even after becoming completely deaf.
