Reviews

[David]

Great incite into primary source material of Beethoven's life, character, behavior, historical context, etc. Basically a hodge-podge of pictures, letters, journal articles, etc. Many pictures and sculptures through his years of what he looked like.

Fascinating if you are into primary sources and Beethoven.

And it's not exhaustingly monolithic.

Phenomenal information about Beethoven. Oh how I love this genius.
