Description: "Life of Beethoven" * Reprint * By Ludwig Nohl * Ships the next business day * Paperback134 pagesThis is a Reprint of the original book published in 1880. Why is Ludwig van Beethoven considered by many to be history’s greatest composer? Noted Beethoven scholar Professor Ludwig Nohl reveals the answer in this special Sea Raven Press reprint of his classic Victorian biography, "Life of Beethoven." In this brief but dense five-chapter volume, Nohl chronicles Beethoven’s life story from birth to death, covering important details concerning both his personal life as a financially struggling bachelor and his professional life as a beloved composer and popular live performer. The emphasis, however, is on Beethoven’s art, and to this end Nohl includes copious song lists with in-depth discussions of his musical works. Though Nohl’s original 1881 edition was not illustrated, the 21st-Century editor, award-winning historian, author, and composer Lochlainn Seabrook, has corrected this oversight by adding nearly 50 newly captioned images and photos to the text. Along with this wonderful addition, Mr. Seabrook designed a new cover and reformatted the entire work in an attractive layout with easy-to-read fonts. Other Seabrook additions include an editor’s introduction, dedication, and epigraph. As with all of our reprints, not one word has been added to or subtracted from the original text, making this illustrated Sea Raven Press edition of Nohl’s Life of Beethoven the only one of its kind. This book measures 5.5" x 8.5" and is also available in hardcover. Other Sea Raven Press Reprints:A Short History of the Confederate States of America Prison Life of Jefferson Davis (by John J.
