Notes

General Note
Although some portions of Thayer's original text have been deleted because recent Beethoven research has proved them inaccurate, "the majority of the text used consists of the coordinated treatment of Thayer's notes and manuscript by these three editors [H. Deiters, H. Riemann, and H. Krehbiel]" with additions and corrections by the present editor.
General Note
"Tenth paperback printing, for the first time in two volumes, 1991"--Title page verso
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages xxiii-xxv).
Description
Alexander Wheelock Thayer's Life of Beethoven. has long been recognized as the classic biography of Beethoven. So Van Wyck Brooks described this monumental work of the 1880's. Thayer talked with Beethoven's surviving friends, gathered anecdotes, and sifted hundreds of documents. The resulting wealth of detail stimulated other students, and a mass of Beethoven scholarship appeared.
