There's something slightly wrong about an obsession, but I love the P word, passion.

Beethoven's life and music has become my lifelong passion.

And this book, Pat, it's my eighth book on him.

And if I could just say very, very, very quickly, it's not a biography of Beethoven.

It is my story with Beethoven.

And it was entirely Nuller's idea.

We were sitting in the garden of a cottage outside Vienna where Beethoven lived at a very important moment in his life.

And I was telling her the story of why and how.

And she said, you've got to write it down, but not like all the others.

I don't want to know about his life.

Why Beethoven?

What is your favorite music?

When did you first hear his music?

Why is it so important to you?

And I turned to her.

I actually said, well, I'll be lucky if that makes 10 pages.

But it turned into a book, and that's what I'll be talking about.
