Description
|
|
|
|
A picture book for readers 9 and up, beautifully illustrated with realistically detailed ink and watercolor drawings, this biography of Ludwig van Beethoven describes his strict upbringing with his temperamental father, his first professional work as a teenager, and his gift for creating deeply moving music unlike anything people had heard before. Even though he had nearly lost his hearing by age 31, Beethoven would eventually compose nine symphonies and hundreds of sonatas, concertos, songs, and an opera, the most famous of which are discussed here within the context of his life. The book includes an audio CD of excerpts and complete works by Beethoven, to be played while reading the book.
