At the start of the biography, Romain Rolland sets a reflective tone by addressing the unhealthy state of Europe and the human condition of his time. He wishes to showcase figures like Beethoven as moral beacons for the suffering and oppressed. The text provides a glimpse into Beethoven's challenging childhood, marked by familial struggles and early expectations placed upon him due to his musical talent. Rolland vividly depicts Beethoven's character, detailing his physical appearance and the emotional volatility that defined him, as well as emphasizing the connection between his personal tribulations and the depth of his musical expression.
