No composer in the history of music has undergone so many makeovers in the portrayal of his facial features or the interpretation of his cultural legacy as Ludwig van Beethoven. The myth began during his lifetime when few verbal or visual portrayals of the composer adhered strictly to his physical appearance; instead his mannerisms, manners, and moods prevailed. Promoted from peevish recluse to Promethean hero, he was pictured early on as a 'genius inspired by inner voices in the presence of nature, with leonine hair writhing wildly in symbolic parallel to the seething turbulence of creativity,' according to the author. In this unique study of the myth-making process across two centuries, Alessandra Comini examines the contradictory imagery of Beethoven in contemporary verbal accounts and in some 200 paintings, prints, sculptures, and monuments. With a witty yet penetrating narrative, she moves through these images to construct a collective image of the composer that reflects the many differing impressions left by devoted 'myth makers' ranging from Wagner, Nietzsche, Berlioz, and Brahms to Rolland, D'Annunzio, and Jenny Lind.

"In this unique study of Ludwig van Beethoven, Alessandra Comini brilliantly examines the phenomenon of the contradictory imagery of the "real" Beethoven of contemporary and posthumous accounts in some 200 illustrations of paintings, sculptures, prints, and verbal accounts. Her absorbing story, told in a witty and anecdotal style, moves from the changing image of Beethoven in the visual arts -- to the interior image of Beethoven held by all those who contributed to his mythmaking mystique. A collective image of the composer emerges that reflects the cultural obsessions and aspirations of successive historical epochs and differing nationalities.".
