Dieser Neudruck der Beethoven-Biografie seines Zeitgenossen Schindler zählt eingestandenermaßen zu den mühevollsten und aufwendigsten Arbeiten der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung überhaupt. Mit fast 400 erklärenden und ergänzenden Anmerkungen bleibt dieses Werk bis heute keine Antwort schuldig und beleuchtet jede Facette des Lebens des Meisters. Es handelt sich um die umfangreichste und am besten recherchierte Biografie, deren Lektüre für das Verständnis des Wirkens und Lebens Beethovens unabdingbar ist.
Anton Schindler (1795-1864), violinist and Beethoven's unpaid private secretary, published his biography of the composer in 1840. This 1841 English translation was enhanced by additional material provided by the pianist Ignaz Moscheles (1794-1870). Despite inaccuracies, it remains an important source of first-hand information.
