Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a composer of universal genius
whose popularity, extraordinary even during his lifetime, has never
ceased to grow and now encircles the globe. His most famous works are as
beloved in Beijing as they are in Boston. A lifelong devotee, Edmund
Morris, the author of three bestselling presidential biographies, brings
the great composer to life as a man of astonishing complexity and
overpowering intelligence—a gigantic, compulsively creative personality
unable to tolerate constraints. But Beethoven's achievement rests in his
immortal music, whose grandeur and beauty were conceived "on the other
side of silence."
