Title: Terrific Quick Read
Review: Edmund Morris' book is a rather fast paced biography of the legendary German composer Ludwing Van Beethoven. While the book offers up a detailed accounting of Beethoven's life, it does not go into elaborate detail on every aspect of his life. I truly enjoyed this book and it greatly whetted my appetite for learning more about Beethoven's life. In fact, I felt a kinship with the maestro, as I too dealt with an alcoholic father in my formative years.For more detailed exposition of the maestro's life, I would recommend Maynard Solomon's "Beethoven."However, this book is a terrific "launching point" to the more detailed and nuanced Solomon book, that Morris references in his own book.
