1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. its a great book.By Customer4.5 Stars - Very insightful book. A must read for anyone interested in classical music. Tells you everything you need to know about Beethoven. Lockwood writes with clear and informative prose. The book is also very well researched and organized. The only reason I have to knock off a half star is because I wish Lockwood would have spent more time talking about Beethovens personal life. The book is about 75% music; 25% bio. Personally; I would have preferred to have more biography; and less music analysis. But thats just me. Overall though; its a great book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Greg ClarkA pretty good read on one of my heroes.5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Masterful command of the artists life and workBy Ron F. LevinLudwig Van Beethoven is no easy man to write about; and his music at times defies description and shrugs off analysis. However; Lockwood has risen to the occasion. With painstaking thoroughness and an eye and ear for detail; he serves as our guide through a life that was filled with obstacles at every turn; and yet out of that; Beethoven was able to create works of enduring genius. Here was a man who shook his fist at the heavens and defied convention. He scorned the ordinary and had no time or patience for niceties. Lockwood misses nothing in this probing; sensitive and very honest account of a difficult man who wrote extraordinary music. At times; we learn more than we might need to; but for the serious reader; this book is both a challenge and a joy. I commend it highly!
