The authoritative Beethoven biography, endorsed by and produced in
close collaboration with the Beethoven-Haus Bonn, is timed for the
250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. With unprecedented access
to the archives at the Beethoven House in Bonn, renowned Beethoven
conductor and scholar Jan Caeyers expertly weaves together a deeply
human and complex image of Beethoven-his troubled youth, his
unpredictable mood swings, his desires, relationships, and
conflicts with family and friends, the mysteries surrounding his
affair with the "immortal beloved," and the dramatic tale of his
deafness. Caeyers also offers new insights into Beethoven's music
and its gradual transformation from the work of a skilled craftsman
into that of a consummate artist. Demonstrating an impressive
command of the vast scholarship on this iconic composer, Caeyers
brings Beethoven's world alive with elegant prose, memorable
musical descriptions, and vivid depictions of Bonn and Vienna-the
cities where Beethoven produced and performed his works. Caeyers
explores how Beethoven's career was impacted by the historical and
philosophical shifts taking place in the music world, and
conversely, how his own trajectory changed the course of the music
industry. Equal parts absorbing cultural history and lively
biography, Beethoven, A Life paints a complex portrait of the
musical genius who redefined the musical style of his day and went
on to become one of the great pillars of Western art music.
