A collection of the letters of Ludwig van Beethoven who is
generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history
of music, and was a crucial figure in the transitional period
between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music.
His music and his reputation inspired - and in many cases
intimidated - ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and
audiences. While primarily known today as a composer, Beethoven was
also a celebrated pianist. Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to
Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties and settled there, studying
with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso
pianist. Despite gradual hearing loss beginning in his twenties,
Beethoven continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his
life, even when he was almost totally deaf. Beethoven was also one
of the first composers to work freelance - arranging subscription
concerts, selling his compositions to publishers, and gaining
financial support from a number of wealthy patrons - rather than
seek out permanent employment by the church or by an aristocratic
court.
