Beethoven's Letters 1790-1826, Volume 1 (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Beethoven''s letters up to 1816. These include details of the theft of some of his music, trials caring for his nephew, difficulties in finding trustworthy servants, the sale of his music in England, his generally poor health, and many other interesting goings-on. The first volume of Ludwig van Beethoven''s letters covers the period from his youth as an ambitious and fledgling young talent living in Vienna, to his peak years wherein he saw musical composition not merely as a career, but as his life''s purpose. Early in his career, Beethoven''s writings are divided between professional correspondence between members of the aristocracy who sponsored him; and tender missives to young women whom he desired to court; and a few close and valued friends. Reliant on the patronage of the wealthy, it is during this period that Beethoven penned many fine works. Beethoven was however hampered by romantic failures owing to his lower social class - Josephine Brunsvik, an aristocratic woman who reciprocated his advances, is eventually forced to break off the relationship. Later, in confessing his feelings to his ''Immortal Beloved'', it is apparent that Beethoven suffered with depression. (Amazon)

Autor

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Germany on December 17, 1770, and died on March 26, 1827. Beethoven is still one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music. His works are some of the most played in the classical music repertoire, and they span the transition from the Classical to the Romantic eras. Ludwig van Beethoven, a musician from the town of Mechelen in the Austrian Duchy of Brabant who moved to Bonn when he was 21 years old, was Beethoven's grandfather. After 1810, when Beethoven was becoming less social, he wrote many of his best-known pieces, such as his later symphonies, mature chamber music, and late piano sonatas. His only opera, Fidelio, was first performed in 1805. In 1814, the last changes were made to it. Between 1819 and 1823, he wrote Missa Solemnis. Between 1822 and 1824, he wrote Symphony No. 9, one of the first choral symphonies.
