Titles in Collection & Description
Discover the extraordinary life and musical legacy of Ludwig van Beethoven with Biographic: Beethoven, a visually engaging biography from the innovative Great Lives in Graphic Form series. Combining fascinating facts and figures with colourful infographics, this book offers a fresh and entertaining look at the composer behind some of the world''s most recognisable music.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and musical prodigy whose work transformed classical music. His Symphony No. 5, instantly recognisable from its famous opening four notes, remains one of the best-known pieces of music ever written.
But there is much more to Beethoven than his compositions.
Biographic: Beethoven presents 50 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements from his life, work and legacy in vivid visual snapshots. Discover that Beethoven was almost completely deaf for nearly half of his life, yet continued to compose some of his most celebrated works.
The book also explores the unusual circumstances surrounding his childhood, including how his father sometimes gave an incorrect account of Beethoven''s age to make his musical abilities appear even more extraordinary.
Among the more curious details is Beethoven''s "Hammer-Klavier Sonata", a piece inspired by the German word Hammerklavier, as well as the surprising range of people and subjects to whom he dedicated his works—including Napoleon and even a dead poodle.
Through engaging infographics and fascinating facts, this book reveals the remarkable personality, challenges and creativity behind Beethoven''s music.
