Beethoven Remembered by Two of His Dearest Friends
This book was written not 10 years after Beethoven's death-- by his friends and pupils Franz Weigler and J. Ries. It is a good first-hand look at Beethoven, how he lived, and what was generally thought of him by friends. It includes a good number of letters, documents, and engravings to aid the reader in understanding of this composer. The book is divided into two halves, one half is Weigler's account, the other Ries'. The authors thought highly of the 'Master', yet include the not always flattering opinions of others, such as his employers, relatives, pupils, etc. I found this book gratifying to read as a first-hand account, with more direct biography than philosophy on Beethoven's life.
