Description
Beethoven's Letters is a unique insight into the life of one of music's greatest composers. Spanning over a decade, these letters reveal the human figure behind the masterpieces, offering a glimpse into Beethoven's anxieties, preoccupations and personal struggles. From his early days as a young composer to his final moments, these documents provide a poignant and intimate portrayal of Beethoven's life. The letters, written in haste and often with errors, offer a glimpse into the mind of a genius, and the challenges he faced in his personal and professional life. This two-volume English translation, first published in 1909, presents the original texts as closely as possible, allowing readers to experience the composer's thoughts and feelings firsthand.
