Anton Schindler (1795–1864), violinist and Beethoven's unpaid private secretary, published his biography of the composer in 1840. This 1841 English translation was enhanced by additional material provided by the pianist Ignaz Moscheles (1794–1870). Despite inaccuracies, it remains an important source of first-hand information.
