Jan Swafford?s biographies of Charles Ives and Johannes Brahms have established him as a revered music historian, capable of bringing his subjects vibrantly to life.

Swafford mines sources never before used in Englishlanguage biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenmentera Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, capital of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and ?fate?s hammer,? his everencroaching deafness. Throughout, Swafford offers insightful readings of Beethoven?s key works.More than a decade in the making, this will be the standard Beethoven biography for years to come.
