在《貝多芬的九段人生》中，牛津大學教授勞拉·坦布里奇穿透了這些噪音。每一章都聚焦於他生命中的一個時期、一首音樂和揭示性的主題--從家庭到朋友，從英雄主義到自由--她提供了對這個人和音樂的豐富洞察力。

這本書揭示了大量從未見過的材料，是對世界上有創造力的人之一的引人注目、易於理解的描述，它將永遠改變你的聽覺方式。

**WINNER of Presto Books' Best Composer Biography**

NINE WORKS OF BEETHOVEN, NINE WINDOWS INTO THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF A MUSICAL GENIUS.

'We are doubly blessed that Beethoven should have led such an extraordinary life. Laura has combined the two - the genius of his music and the richness of his experiences - to shine a revealing light on our greatest composer' John Humphrys

Ludwig van Beethoven: to some, simply the greatest ever composer of Western classical music. Yet his life remains shrouded in myths.

In Beethoven, Oxford professor Laura Tunbridge cuts through the noise. With each chapter focusing on a period of his life, piece of music and revealing theme - from family to friends, from heroism to liberty - she provides a rich insight into the man and the music.

Revealing a wealth of never-before-seen material, this tour de force is a compelling, accessible portrayal of one of the world's most creative minds and it will transform how you listen for ever.
