Hello,
I recently purchase a serious of collected fragments written by Theodor Adorno on Beethoven. It's a good book - trouble is, I can't understand half of it, and it's not what I was looking for anyway.
Having returned the book, I back on the trail for a good biography covering Beethovens life and as much as possible analysing his works.
I'm a secondary school student studying GCSE Music in the UK and want some background reading material to compliment this and my love for Beethoven's music. I don't want a music textbook or dictionary of music though.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for biographies on this influential genius?
