Features: This book is the volume announced by the author, published in 1928, and is a volume that has attracted worldwide attention. This volume focuses on the young Beethoven around the age of 30, covering works such as The Hero, The Passion, and the opera Leonore. The author goes beyond the simple emotional admiration expressed in his Beethoven: His Life and Environment (written in 1902) and employs more rational analysis. He not only examines the artist but also delves into the "person" behind the music, analyzing both his compositions and his character. In Rolland's portrayal, Beethoven's musical image becomes richer and more three-dimensional.
