Summary | "Life of Beethoven" by Anton Schindler is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book details the life of the iconic composer Ludwig van Beethoven, including aspects of his personal life, relationships, and musical career. Schindler's work serves as both a biography and a revealing study of the genius and complexities of Beethoven's character. The opening of the biography focuses on the editorial preface by Ignace Moscheles, who expresses his reverence for Beethoven and describes his own connection to the composer. Moscheles explains the significance of providing a truthful account of Beethoven's life, emphasizing the responsibility he feels as editor. The text then sets the stage for a journey through Beethoven's early life, touching upon his family background, childhood discoveries in music, and influential relationships, particularly with mentors and patrons that shaped his path as a composer in Vienna. The narrative begins to unfold Beethoven's unique personality, his struggles with increasing deafness, and the development of his remarkable musical talent.
