Book Description
Excerpt from Beethoven as He Lived His figure not his work. It is clear that no picture of him is complete without the music which he breathed forth and sang in his paroxysms, I have attempted to draw it, but only in its outline, only in the course of its development. Perhaps I have succeeded now and again in following the traces of the highest possession of mankind in detail; but that would need a book for itself, and the present book has another object, moreover, apart from the fact that more has already been done in the way of musical analysis than of biography, such was not part of the plan of my book and would have overburdened it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Beethoven Although on appearing for the first time as the editor of a literary publication, my feelings may be somewhat like those of a child putting on a new dress, yet I feel the responsibility of my position far more than its novelty; for the subject of my first essay is one not to be approached by me, at least, without seriousness and reverence. That the amount, however, of this editorial responsibility may be thought neither greater nor less than it really is, I must beg leave to state my precise share in this publication, and to advert to the qualifications with which I have entered on my task.

Book Description
Excerpt from Beethoven: A Memoir The year I 749 brought us Goethe; 1756, Mozart; 1759, Schiller; and 1770, Beethoven. Thus, within the short Space of twenty-one years four of the greatest poetic geniuses were born - four men of whom not only the German Fatherland, but all mankind must be proud. And even more happy than proud, since the most splendid gift which the Divine Being from time to time vouchsafes to poor humanity is that of genius. Through it we receive the highest good in which we are capable of participating - the forgetfulness of self in a nobler life. Genius it is that gives us, if but for a few short hours, that which the believer awaits with earnest hope in another and a better world.

Book Description
Excerpt from Beethoven Let them then gather around themselves the heroic friends of the past - the great souls who suffered for the good Of universal humanity. The lives Of great men are not written for the proud or for the ambitious; they are dedicated rather to the unhappy. And who really is not? TO those who suffer, we Offer the balm Of their sacred sufferings. NO one is alone in the fight. The darkness Of the world is made clear by the guiding light Of the souls Of the heroes. I do not give the name hero to those who have triumphed by infinite thought or by sheer physical strength-but only to those made great by goodness Of heart. Beethoven wrote, I recog nise no Sign of superiority in mankind other than goodness. Where the character is not great, there is no great man, there is not even a great artist, nor a great man Of action; there are only idols unearthed for the cheap and short-lived applause Of the multitude; time will efface them altogether. Outward success matters little. The only thing is to be great, not to appear so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Beethoven Music is the most popular of the arts. It fills man's breast with a melancholy joy. Even the brute creation is not insensible to its power. Yet, at its best, music is a haughty, exclusive being, and not without reason are training, practice, talent, and the development of that talent, required for the understanding of her secrets. One wishes to be heard with the intellect, by one's equals emotion becomes only women, but music should strike fire from the mind of a man. In some such strain as this, Beethoven himself once spoke, and we know how slowly the works of the great symphonist found a hearing and recognition from the general public.
