Eroica : a novel about Beethoven by Carl von Pidoll( Book )

5 editions published between 1956 and 1957 in English and German and held by 174 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Eroica --in the fine tradition of such vivid historical re-creations as Hadrian's memoirs-- is a unique portrait of Beethoven, one of the most elusive and remarkable men who ever lived: a titan of music who loved and suffered deeply, who conquered despair and deafness, and who vanquished man's mortality in his inmortal music. Carl Pidoll's fascinating novel unfolds the varied aspects of Beethoven's rich and vibrant life from the time the brusque yet dedicated young man erupted into Viennese society until his completed life's work sang out the glory of man's achievement. Carl Pidoll has written his moving and perceptive novel in the form of a member of a lifelong, actual friend of Beethoven's, Nikolans Zmeskall von Domanovetz, one of the few people who could have understood all the facets of Beethoven's secretive and revolutionary genius. The contrapuntal play of personalities, one with a genius for music, the other with a genius for friendship, gives Eroica an unforgettable and heart warming charm. It is through the wise and compassionate eyes of Zmeskall that we grow to understand the experiences that formed Beethoven's character: his first appereance in Vienna, his disillusionment with Napoleon, his hopeless loves, his hollow meeting with Goethe, his loneliness, and the final ironic tragedy of his deafness, which he overcame in a spectacular triumph of the human spirit. It is this spirit that pervades Eroica: the spirit of a man who never lacked the courage to search for perfection, who welded his passionate surge of emotion into the triumph of great art. "Music", Beethoven cried, "is the language of the heart, speaking out to other hearts," And so with Eroica: it speaks to the heart"--On jacket left flap
