Beautifully produced series exploring the creative process of German composer and pianist, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) through his personal sketchbooks.

His notes and shorthand can illuminate the ways he expanded and refined ideas, clarify biographical or musical mysteries, or call attention to deliberate links among compositions."
