The Beethoven Obsession (Paperback, New ed.)

The Beethoven Obsession is the story of how the greatest piano music ever written acquired a unique Australian voice, played on a revolutionary grand piano. It is a fast-paced drama of frustration, envy, rivalry, struggle and success, starring a self-taught child prodigy who sold condoms and contraband to advance his studies; a fanatical inventor who took apart pianos as a child to examine their 'gizzards'; and a TV cameraman who became a music entrepreneur to translate the music he loved into an Australian first. Their unorthodox, historic odyssey created multi-award-winning, best-selling albums and changed their lives forever.
