When I think that Beethoven died when so many idiots live ...., Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

One day, during an exhibition of masks, Beethoven returns to the life of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt: the writer remembers having once loved passionately, as a teenager. 
Why Beethoven did it away? Why today's man feels he more these emotions, romance, these thunderstorms inland and joy? Who has disappeared? Beethoven or us? And who is the murderer? 
This text is followed by Kiki van Beethoven, the adventure of a woman, in her sixties radiant, which goes through the music, change his life and that of her three friends. A tale of lost youth and the secrets buried.


Impressions: The book must be for those who want to discover a composer too well known to be listened to ..
The author's erudite and passionate music lover guide the reader step by step to make him see the beauty that resonates in the works too often ill-heeded.
Both philosophical essay on the beauty and creativity, aesthetic and ride, this little book will appeal to both laymen and insiders ... A book to listen without moderation.
