--ABOUT THIS ITEM--
Step back in time to the romantic world of 19th-century Vienna with "The Moonlight Sonata." This 1913 antiquarian book by Johan Nordling tells the story of the great composer Beethoven and his love for the beautiful countess Julia Guicciardi, to whom he dedicated his famous sonata. Through Nordling's masterful prose, we see Beethoven not only as a musical genius but also as a man of great complexity and tenderness. His devotion to Julia and his struggles with his own artistic temperament are brought to life in vivid detail. "The Moonlight Sonata" has been reprinted five times in Sweden, where it originated, twice in Denmark, and twice in Germany. Now, French, Italian, Dutch, and Russian translations are in the works. Experience the magic of Beethoven's music and the romance of old Vienna with this timeless classic. Get your copy of "The Moonlight Sonata" today.
