The story of the woman who built pianos for Beethoven.
The story of Nannette Stein Streicher is bound up with the story of 18th-century musical life in the German-speaking world. Mozart and Beethoven are characters; so, too, are Rosetti, Sterkel, von Beecke, and other less familiar composers who still wrote some great music. Click through to hear musical excerpts -- some performed on actual instruments from the Stein workshop.
Anne Midgette was the chief classical music critic of the Washington Post for 12 years, and wrote for the New York Times for seven years before that. This book, based on years of historical research, is her first published novel.
