The son of a white woman and an "African Prince," George Polgreen
Bridgetower (1780-1860) travels to Vienna to meet "bad-boy" genius
Ludwig van Beethoven. The great composer's subsequent sonata is
originally dedicated to the young mulatto, but George, exuberant
with acclaim, offends Beethoven over a woman. From this crucial
encounter evolves a grandiose yet melancholy poetic tale. A New
Yorker's A Year's Reading; Booklist Editors Choice Award.
