This authoritative biography of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
was a landmark in its meticulous research and use of source
material. For the American author Alexander Wheelock Thayer
(1817-97), it represented a lifelong labour of love, yet it
remained unfinished at his death. His friend Hermann Deiters
(1833-1907) edited and translated Thayer's work into German,
publishing three volumes which covered Beethoven's life to 1816.
Since Deiters also died before the biography could be completed,
musicologist Hugo Riemann (1849-1919) was called upon to conclude
the work. The final German volumes appeared in 1907 and 1908. It
was the American critic Henry Edward Krehbiel (1854-1923) who
prepared the present work, the first and considerably revised
English version, published in three volumes in 1921. Volume 1
covers Beethoven's career through to 1802, the year of the
Heiligenstadt Testament.
