What was the cause of Mozart's death, of Beethoven's deafness and of Robert Schumann's mental illness? The lives of many great composers were beset by severe pain and disease, often exacerbated by the dubious medical practices of the time. In this book, the author examines the medical history of 29 composers, from Bach to Gerschwin.Product Identifiers
