About this book

Using Beethoven's letters, diaries and conversation books, this text traces his attraction to a constellation of heterogeneous ideas, drawn from Romanticism, Freemasonry, comparative religion, Eastern initiatory ritual, Mediterranean mythology, aesthetics and classical and contemporary thought.
