By thirty he knew he was going deaf, and wrote his brothers a letter explaining why he had not killed himself. Fischer takes the Heiligenstadt crisis as the hinge of the entire life, and follows a man whose manners were appalling, whose household was chaos, and who went on composing long after the sound had gone completely.
