**WINNER of Presto Books' Best Composer Biography** NINE WORKS OF
BEETHOVEN, NINE WINDOWS INTO THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF A MUSICAL
GENIUS. 'We are doubly blessed that Beethoven should have led such
an extraordinary life. Laura has combined the two - the genius of
his music and the richness of his experiences - to shine a
revealing light on our greatest composer' John Humphrys
_________________________ Ludwig van Beethoven: to some, simply the
greatest ever composer of Western classical music. Yet his life
remains shrouded in myths. In Beethoven, Oxford professor Laura
Tunbridge cuts through the noise. With each chapter focusing on a
period of his life, piece of music and revealing theme - from
family to friends, from heroism to liberty - she provides a rich
insight into the man and the music. Revealing a wealth of
never-before-seen material, this tour de force is a compelling,
accessible portrayal of one of the world's most creative minds and
it will transform how you listen for ever.
_________________________ 'Tunbridge has come up with the seemingly
impossible: a new way of approaching Beethoven's life and music . .
. profoundly original and hugely readable' John Suchet, author
Beethoven: The Man Revealed 'This well researched and accessible
book is a must read for all who seek to know more about the flesh
and blood tangible Beethoven.' John Clubbe, author of Beethoven:
The Relentless Revolutionary 'This book is really wonderful! ...
However many books on Beethoven you own, find the space for one
more. This one' Stephen Hough, pianist, composer, writer 'In a year
when everyone's looking for a new take on Beethoven, Laura
Tunbridge has found nine. Fresh and engaging' Norman Lebrecht,
author of Genius and Anxiety 'Remarkable . . . she captures the
essence of his genius and character. I'll always want to keep it in
easy reach' Julia Boyd, author of Travellers in the third Reich
