Description
The Last Master: Passion and Pain by John Suchet The second volume of John Suchet's trilogy about the life of Ludwig van Beethoven depicts the composer at the height of his powers, famous throughout Europe, championed by wealthy patrons, sought out by other musicians, yet struggling to come to terms with the great tragedy of his life: his deafness. As Beethoven receives the adulation of the audience, he is also alone in the middle of the night, struggling to hear the great music he is creating. This book is a compelling portrayal of Beethoven's heroic period, marked by the creation of some of his most iconic works, including the Eroica Symphony, the Fifth, the Pastoral Symphony, and the Emperor Concerto. Through Beethoven's story, Suchet sheds light on the composer's inner turmoil and the challenges he faced in his personal and artistic life. Beethoven's music is a testament to his enduring legacy, and this book provides a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of music's most iconic figures.
