- W4281570401 abstract "Abstract ‘The life’ presents an outline of the composer’s life from his early years in Bonn to his move to Vienna in 1792 to his death there in 1827. We know more about Beethoven than any composer who lived before him, and for that matter a great many who have come since. The sheer quantity of the historical record can seem overwhelming at times. The correspondence—more than 2,000 letters to and from him—extends across six hefty, printed volumes. The document now known as the Heiligenstadt Testament, written in 1802 but secreted away and not discovered until after his death, is a deeply personal and emotionally direct confrontation with the growing reality that he was losing his sense of hearing. In his later years, when his deafness had become severe, visitors often communicated by a combination of shouting and writing, and the 139 conversation books that have survived give us detailed insights into his daily concerns, with entries that range from the mundane to the metaphysical. The diary he kept sporadically between 1812 and 1818 records both philosophical and practical observations. Reminiscences of those who knew him personally fill two substantial volumes. And we have some 8,000 pages of musical sketches that range from brief melodic fragments to extensively drafted complete movements. These sketches allow us to trace the step-by-step growth of many of Beethoven’s landmark compositions, along with countless others he abandoned." @default.
