Extensively annotated by Beethoven scholar Donald MacArdle, it not only offers Schindler’s personal view of the composer’s music, personality, deafness, irascible behavior, etc.—but incorporates 100 years of subsequent research. Revised third edition. Editor’s Notes. Introduction. 7 illustrations. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Beethoven as I knew him I think this is the BEST book I have ever read on Beethoven. This is a must read for any true fan. Schindler did a fantastic job of bringing who he was to the reader. I couldn't put it down Rating: - Discredited Schindler destroyed hundreds of important historical documents to "protect" the great man. His writing has been thoroughly discredited. Rating: - As close as it gets I feel like I'm a fly on the wall in Beethovens apartment...well, one of his many apartments. Can't get any closer than this too someone who lived that many years ago. I also find it hard to believe that a man like Rossini would spend two years in the same city as Beethoven and not meet him. I'm willing to bet that the moment Rossini stepped from his carriage in the city of music he grabbed the first passerby and said "Where do I find Beethoven?" Rating: - great book I have enjoyed this book very much. It written by someone that knew Beethoven ,and it offers you a lot of information about Beethoven's life, it is accurate. When there are two differents versions of the same event, the authors explains and describe them. A very objective book and enjoyable. Rating: - Great Great book Strange that the first reviewer says that the meeting between Beethoven and Rossini never took place. Rossini and Beethoven would have disagreed! They met in the spring of 1822 when Rossini was in Vienna for the premiere of his opera Zelmira. Rossini has left an account of the meeting see more Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display
