The Life Of Ludwig Van Beethoven V2 (1921)

The Life of Ludwig Van Beethoven V2 is a biography of the famous composer, written by Alexander Wheelock Thayer and originally published in 1921. This second volume of the biography covers the period from 1808 to 1827, which was a tumultuous time in Beethoven's life. During this time, Beethoven continued to compose some of his most famous works, including his Fifth Symphony and his final Ninth Symphony. However, he also faced many personal challenges, including increasing deafness, health issues, and financial troubles. Thayer's biography draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters and other documents written by Beethoven himself, as well as accounts from his friends and contemporaries. The result is a detailed and engaging portrait of one of the greatest composers in history, and a fascinating glimpse into the world of classical music in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
