I did not finish this 'single' but did read half. For all I know it became wonderous in the second half.I do not play an instrument. I have a fairly extensive catalog of recordings with many hours of Beethoven and particularly enjoy the chamber pieces. I attend local performances but do not pilgrimage to large cities to attend concerts. I musically middle-brow.I have read a couple of Beethoven biographies and attended a lecture or two on Beethoven. So, I am not a person with no interest.I did not find this 'single' to be interesting or compelling to the degree that I did not finish. I suspect that a musician might find the content of more interest but not this reader.
