TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
This project is dedicated to the memory of Eduardo Suárez, who loved Beethoven's music and this book.
A number of words in this book have both hyphenated and non-hyphenated variants. The trend in the original book was to hyphenate compound words. Therefore, for the words with both variants present the hyphenated variant was chosen in most of the cases.
The list item in the Table of Contents pointing to page 93 is for a letter to I. Moscheles and not to Sir G. Smart as it was printed originally in the book. There is another letter to I. Moscheles on page 94 that is missing in the original. These errors have been corrected.
The present book was originally written in French and has been translated into English. The Transcriber believes a translation error has been made in the English version. The text in question in page [198] of the book reads as follows:
This biography was commenced in 1866, but was interrupted by the death of the author in 1897 at Trieste, where he was the American Consul. The work stood still till 1816,...
For the above portion of text, the French version ("Vie de Beethoven", Romain Rolland, Hachette, 1914, 7eme. edition, Page 148) reads as follows:
Commencé en 1866; interrompu par la mort de l'auteur, en 1897, à Trieste, où il était consul des États-Unis; l'ouvrage s'arrête à l'année 1816...
The Transcriber believes that the above French text should be translated into English as:
This biography was commenced in 1866, but was interrupted by the death of the author in 1897 at Trieste, where he was the American Consul. The work stops at the year 1816...
Obvious punctuation and other printing errors have been corrected.
The book cover was modified by the Transcriber and has been added to the public domain.
