Description

The story of Ludwig van Beethoven, greatest master musician of all, told skillfully and with feeling, for boys and girls. With hopes of making him a musician, from four years of age, Ludwig was kept by his parents at the piano, hour after hour, until the long exercises were mastered.

This is his story - his inspiring achievements against all odds, with his growing deafness. "Long live Beethoven!", shouted the audience. But the master could not hear them, and as a singer turned him gently to face the audience, the noble head bowed low as he saw from the flutter of handkerchiefs, the applause that rained upon him.

Thus Opal Wheeler captures the superb quality of musical greatness of Beethoven and communicates it to young people. A stirring tribute to the greatest composer of all. Ages 4-15. Filled with illustrations and musical score.
