My Music, the Arch-Rascals & Me by Caroline J Sinclair
This book truly brings the Beethoven story to life and offers a new and fascinating insight into his development both as a composer and as a man - a must-have book for all those who appreciate Beethoven's music, whether they are musicians, students or other music lovers, or for those who love historical novels. Based on true events and told from Beethoven's own point of view, 'My Music, The Arch-rascals & Me - The Memoirs of Ludwig van Beethoven' is the story of a genius, one of the most fascinating personalities in the history of classical music. It is the colourful era of the Austrian Empire. As a composer, Beethoven is ahead of his time, boldly creating new and innovative music - but will it be accepted by the fickle Viennese public? At the same time, as a man, he is yearning to be someone who can love and be loved. It is up to him whether he can become the man he wants to be - but does he have the courage to take an honest look at himself and his shortcomings? 'My Music, The Arch-rascals & Me' is as much about family and friendship as about music. In it, Caroline J Sinclair has created a touching story about the healing power of reconciliation and of unconditional love.
Caroline J Sinclair, a graduate in modern languages, is an Oxford-based author who has a keen interest in classical music. She has done extensive research into Sibelius's life and music, including sourcing information from his letters and diaries, enabling her to keep the story historically authentic and factually correct. Furthermore, having once lived in Finland, she is familiar with the Finnish language, culture and customs. Her first novel was on the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, and she is currently working on the third book in this series of famous composers' memoirs.
