Beethoven's Birthday (1770)
-- Regarded by many as the greatest orchestral composer of all time, Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany on December 16, 1770. Impairment of his hearing began before he was 30 years old, but even total deafness did not halt his composing and conducting.
Read: Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph
-- This magnificent new biography of Ludwig van Beethoven peels away layers of legend to get to the living, breathing human being who composed some of the world's most iconic music. Author Jan Swafford mines sources never before used in English-language biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenment-era Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, the capital of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and fate's hammer, his ever-encroaching deafness.
