Book Description
Genetic studies of putative specimens of the music composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair have provoked quite a stir of late[1]. Revelations about his heritage, relatives, and disease states and susceptibility have clearly captured the public imagination. The major news feeds, print and electronic alike have been abuzz with these revelations, as pedestrian as their conclusions may seem. Why, some two centuries after his death, do we care so much about Beethoven? Why this fascination with a long-dead composer of exact, often arcane, and difficult music? Why have generations of admirers regarded this man as a titan? How did he earn his place in splendid isolation at the apex of the proscenium arch of Boston’s hallowed Symphony Hall, chosen alone among the legions of worthy composers?
