Beethoven's Letters, Vol. 1 of 2


Book Description

Excerpt from Beethoven's Letters, Vol. 1 of 2: 1790 1826, From the Collection of Dr. Ludwig Nohl; Also His Letters to the Archduke Rudolph, Cardinal-Archbishop of Olmutz, K. W., From the Collection of Dr. Ludwig Ritter Von Köchel Since undertaking the translation of Dr. Ludwig Nohl's valuable edition of 'Beethoven's Letters,' an additional collection has been published by Dr. Ludwig Ritter von Köchel, consisting of many interesting letters addressed by Beethoven to his illustrious pupil, H. R. H. the Archduke Rudolph, Cardinal-Archbishop of Olmütz. These I have inserted in chronological order, and marked with the letter K., in order to distinguish them from the correspondence edited by Dr. Nohl. I have only omitted a few brief notes, consisting merely of apologies for non-attendance on the Archduke. The artistic value of these newly discovered treasures will no doubt be as highly appreciated in this country as in the great maestro's fatherland.

Beethoven's Letters (1790-1826)


Book Description

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a prolific letter writer, with thousands of examples surviving to this day. Often written in great haste - 'in der Eile' was a common sign-off - they allow us to follow the great composer's anxieties and preoccupations, revealing the human figure behind some of the greatest music ever written. Despite the fact that 'many of Beethoven's letters slumber in foreign lands, especially in the unapproachable cabinets of curiosities belonging to various close-fisted English collectors', the German musicologist Ludwig Nohl (1831-85) published his collection of letters in 1865, and this two-volume English translation by Grace Jane Wallace (1804-78) appeared the following year, reflecting the fact that interest in Beethoven had not diminished nearly forty years after his death. Volume 1 includes the letter by the thirteen-year-old Beethoven which declares his life's commitment to the craft of music, and the still poignant 'Heiligenstadt Testament'.
