I urge anyone into LvB to get this. It brings the great man down to our level a bit as we see him dealing with patrons and publishers. One of them is in Edinburgh and Beethoven had quite a correspondence with him about....well....business!

The ebook version is taken from translations by Lady Wallace originally published in the 1860s. It covers more than 450 letters, including famous ones such as the Heiligenstadt Testament (written for the world though addressed to Beethoven's brothers). A much more complete collection of letters was published in the 1960s (translations by Emily Anderson - around 1600 in total), but I'd say this earlier collection is a fine unless you're writing a PhD thesis on the man or you need to know about his laundry lists, etc. Many included here are letters to publishers and patrons, with quite a lot of wheeling and dealing, begging letters, etc.
Someone has taken quite a lot of trouble with this production, as there are active links from the contents list at the beginning to each letter. Music examples are included, no doubt a lot easier to read than in the original hand-writing! There is an active index, though this will only take you to the first letter under each heading (e.g. the first one to Archbishop Rudolf). One small criticism: each letter listed in the Contents takes three lines, so you have to Page Forward a lot to find individual items.

I was doing a dissertation about Beethoven and decided to get this book so that I can look into Beethoven's letter. I am amazed with the book as it has more information that I have expected. I really liked this book. I would recommend this book to anyone that would like to look into Beethoven's letter or would just like to know Beethoven better.
Got it from Oxfam and happy with the service as well as fast delivery plus the packaging.
