IN SEARCH OF BEETHOVEN A Personal Journey

An illustrated talk

John Suchet is passionate about Beethoven. In his second book on the composer, he traces Beethoven’s life from his early years in Bonn to his dying days in Vienna, a journey both literal and symbolic, to demonstrate the life changing power of great music. Part biography, memoir and travelogue, Suchet draws from his own life and experience as a foreign correspondent and news anchor to create a compelling and moving account of Beethoven’s life in an immersive tale of adventure and discovery. Suchet reveals what we can gain from turning to genius in life’s many crises.
