Reddit reviews Beethoven: The Music and the Life

Lewis Lockwood wrote several books on Beethoven.

I think the overview book would serve as a good introduction to Beethoven’s life and works:

I thought he studied with Haydn before Salieri? And then when Haydn buggered off to London, Beethoven was the music student harlot of Vienna, running between Salieri, Albrechtsberger Schuppenzigh et al?

Or at least thats what I remember from the biography I read.

PS this is the biography. I recommend it to everyone who even has a passing interest in music. Fantastic book. You dont become a Pulitzer finalist for nothing.
