The website Five Books very kindly interviewed me about my top five choices of reading about Beethoven. It's a relatively in-depth discussion, if a bit rambly on my part (I didn't realise it would be a word-for-word transcript of the phone call), and aimed to identify some good material primarily for the general rather than academic music lover.

It seems to have gone down quite well, so here's the link. Enjoy! And please read the books as they are all wonderful in their own ways.
