A fictionalised exploration of Beethoven's life in his final days working on his Ninth Symphony. It is 1824. Beethoven is racing to finish his new symphony. However, it has been years since his last success and he is plagued by deafness, loneliness and personal trauma. A copyist is urgently needed to help the composer. A fictional character is introduced in the form of a young conservatory student and aspiring composer named Anna Holtz. The mercurial Beethoven is skeptical that a woman might become involved in his masterpiece but slowly comes to trust in Anna's assistance and in the end becomes quite fond of her. By the time the piece is performed, her presence in his life is an absolute necessity. Her deep understanding of his work is such that she even corrects mistakes he has made, while her passionate personality opens a door into his private world.

本书把电影和音乐交叉连接，向读者展开一个“听读”电影的新视角。 把音乐和电影交叉谈论的书，当下并不多见。而观影族中，颇多音乐爱好者，因为很多经典的电影都有出色的配乐，其中不乏大师级人物，使得音乐与影像相映生辉，甚至流传更广。 作者对电影、音乐、文学有很强的感悟能力，本书是其电影音乐评论文章的结集，分六个部分，从不同的专题角度、不同的电影实践来谈论电影音乐从内容到形式的方方面面。其对电影音乐的感性、理性之分析，为电影爱好者对电影的细读起了不少解惑的作用。作者引用了不少英文资料，也是从规范的学术立场对电影音乐这一媒体交叉的新文化现象的研究做出了尝试。
