What happens when a "madman" moves upstairs? Embark on the story of young Christoph and discover the genius of master composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who has taken the upstairs apartment of Christoph's Vienna home. In letters exchanged with his uncle, Christoph recounts his experiences with the eccentric composer and comes to understand Beethoven's brilliance, the torment of his deafness, and the beauty of his music.
