Exploring the Limits of Scientific Inquiry into Beethoven's Life

There are approximately one bajillion biographies of Beethoven: do we need really another one? In fact, we do, because Laura Tunbridge has written an engrossing, provocative, and genuinely fresh book about Beethoven's life and times. A conversation about what it means to write about one of the most well-trodden composers in music history, and the rich new perspectives that Dr. Tunbridge brings to our understanding of Beethoven.

Laura Tunbridge is Professor of Music and Henfrey Fellow and Tutor at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford.
