Editorial Reviews
Gail Berenson, Journal of the American Music Teacher
"An extremely well-done translation from the original Germancombining excerpts from biographical writings, personal letters and diaries.Written from the perspective of today's medical knowledge, Neumayr is able to more accurately assess medical problems(with) additional emphasis placed on how the composer's health influenced his work.It is spellbinding reading."
Richard J. Bing, M.D., Nature Medicine
"It is difficult to favor any chapter as each brings a wealth of medical and musical history.The greatest value of Neumayr's book is that it involves the reader emotionally in the lives of creative human beings, who were also great composers. He accomplishes this with scholarship but especially with humanity, never succumbing to sentimentality."
