Autor zpracoval v knize část bohatého materiálu, jejž shromáždil pro svou velkou monografii o Beethovenovi. Hluboká znalost života a díla stěžejních postav německé kultury - Beethovena a Goetha, znalost jejich přátel, jejich prostředí a historického pozadí doby umožnila Rollandovi citlivě prozkoumat a literárně zpracovat jejich složitý vzájemný vztah. Druhý díl knihy sleduje Beethovenova setkání se ženami, jeho mnohá, avšak marná milostná vzplanutí a vítězství jeho mohutné tvůrčí energie nad neustálým zklamáním v intimním životě. Kniha je doplněna bohatým poznámkovým aparátem, četnými fotografiemi a citacemi některých důležitých dokumentů, jako je dopis Bettiny Brentanové Goethovi o hudbě a Beethovenův dopis Nesmrtelné milence.
