4.0 out of 5 stars
Contemplation,
This review is from: Beethoven: The Man and the Artist, As Revealed in His Own Words (Dover Books on Music) (Paperback)
This little book is nice to have for little snippets into the mind of Beethoven. There are several biographies of the great artist; but this little book provides Beethoven's writings on things like God, Nature, Art, etc. that give the reader things to consider. It's great to pick up for an inspiration, light reading, or even daily thought.
