This is a collection of Beethoven's letters published in 1866. They were published from the collection of Ludwig Nohl, who also edited them. Nohl (1831--1885) was a German music scholar who famously published collections of the letters of Beethoven and Mozart, as well as extensive criticism of other great composers, including Richard Wagner. Nohl is most famous, however, as the Beethoven scholar who discovered "Für Elise," Beethoven's piano bagatelle. This collection includes his letters to the Archduke Rudolph of Austria, who took lessons from Beethoven and became his friend.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a prolific letter writer, with thousands of examples surviving to this day. Often written in great haste - 'in der Eile' was a common sign-off - they allow us to follow the great composer's anxieties and preoccupations, revealing the human figure behind some of the greatest music ever written. Despite the fact that 'many of Beethoven's letters slumber in foreign lands, especially in the unapproachable cabinets of curiosities belonging to various close-fisted English collectors', the German musicologist Ludwig Nohl (1831-85) published his collection of letters in 1865, and this two-volume English translation by Grace Jane Wallace (1804-78) appeared the following year, reflecting the fact that interest in Beethoven had not diminished nearly forty years after his death. Volume 1 includes the letter by the thirteen-year-old Beethoven which declares his life's commitment to the craft of music, and the still poignant 'Heiligenstadt Testament'.
