BL Fascinating medical histories of 20 composers, explained without
the use of medical jargon The lives of many great composers were
beset by sever pain and disease, often exacernbated by the dubious
medical practices of the time. Drawing on recent research, John
O'Shea describes their courage in the face of illness and offers
explanations to such mysteries as the cause of Mozart's death, of
Beethoven's deafness, and Robert Schumann's mental breakdown.
