Positives: The book is beautifully detailed. It conveys a sense of 19th century Austria. The characters have been given distinct personalities. I think Beethoven is well-portrayed as a temperamental musician, frustrated in love, and dealing with hearing loss. The musical and operatic passages are convincing. The writer’s skill is evident.
Negatives: At 500 pages, and densely written, it feels rather lengthy. There are a few detours that do not add much to the story. I think it could easily have been shortened, which would have helped with the pacing. The ending seems a bit scattered and vaguely unsatisfying, with a number of coincidences and actions that stretch belief.
Overall, I appreciate stories about classical composers, and I enjoyed reading this book. Though there are a very few modern terms, the story feels authentic to the period. I would read another book by this author.… (plus d'informations)
