- Table of Contents
- Proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven that takes us beyond the iconic scowl and more nearly reflects the way in which the composer's contemporaries heard his music
- Approaches Beethoven's music as a series of variations on his life as manifested through his ideals and his attitudes toward deafness, friendship, love, religion, money, and politics
- Draws heavily on Beethoven's writings - his letters, his diary - and lets the composer's personality emerge through his own words
