Translated by Anthony Powell. A fictional biography of Beethoven written in the form of imaginary memoirs by Herr von Zmeskall, a Viennese civil servant who is known to have been the composer's close friend for many years, and who must therefore have been one of the few people who could presume to understand Beethoven's secretive and tempestuous genius. By combining fact and fiction the author has made a valuable and moving contribution to our understanding of one of the most elusive and remarkable men that ever lived.
