About this book
Ludwig van Beethoven began to lose his hearing in his late twenties. By the time the Ninth Symphony was first performed, in 1824, he was almost completely deaf.
Graham Whitmore tells his life in a concise, chronological biography: the defining moments, the setbacks and the music he went on writing after he could no longer hear it.
