"A unique study of Beethoven and his work specifically in the context of the political and social events of the stirring revolutionary time in which he lived. This book shows how the deep concern and love for humanity which underscore his immortal creativity are also revealed in newly discovered letters and his conversation notebooks." -- From the book jacket.
