This is a fascinating book that not only gives you deep insight into Beethoven the man, but which views history from the date of his death to present day by following a lock of Beethoven's hair taken at his death bed. You will not want to put this down, and once you read it, will want to give it as a gift to every classical music lover you know!

I love the book! It came in good order (as I have come to expect from Amazon) and it was a fascinating read! It is a follow-up on the book titled Beethoven's Hair (by one of the same authors - Russell Martin) and presents the story of the lock of hair from Ludwig van Beethoven in a way that is much more accessible by the middle school age students whom I teach. Thanks for offering this great book!

An interesting mystery set and solved over the time since Beethoven lived and the present. If you are interested in composers and science, this book is very interesting. How great it is that aspects of the unknown reasons why people behave the way they do can be proven because of the advances in science today.

A great companion piece to his earlier work "Beethoven's Hair"

One of the pictures of the church in Gilleleje was taken by me (but uncredited)
