Beethoven - His Spiritual Development

John William Navin Sullivan (1886-1937), was a popular science writer and literary journalist as well as this title he wrote some of the earliest non-technical accounts of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, and was known personally to many important writers in London in the 1920s, including Aldous Huxley, John Middleton Murry, Wyndham Lewis and T. S. Eliot.

This is unlike any other music biography you will read. It is not a linear life history, nor does it focus primarily on musical quotations. It digs deeply into Beethoven's spirit and tries to grasp what made him so special.
