Beethoven in His Own Words David Dubal, pianist, teacher, writer, and broadcaster. http://www.daviddubal.com

Beethoven's music has touched the core of the human heart and has been a revelation, blessing, and salvation to millions. His letters to friends and associates and his poignant "Heilengenstadt Testament" reveal him as a man of deep insight and profound sentiment. These lectures, featuring live performances by musicians from the Juilliard School, will explore the turbulent existence of the man who believed that "music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
