Review: Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph

Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph by Jan Swafford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is probably the definitive biography of Beethoven, at least until anything new is uncovered. Many parts went way too much into detail for me, analyzing his pieces of music movement by movement. But the story of his life was at times tragic and depressing, but always fascinating, including the snippets about his mysterious lover.
