 In
1957, Jacques Brenner wrote the fictional memoires
of Karl van Beethoven, the composer's nephew.
He created this work through what he knew of
Karl, and from the works of numerous biographers.
His book is taken from a human standpoint, and
Karl is presented as a victim.
In 1972, Luigi Magnani wrote another book about
Karl van Beethoven: 'Il Nipote di Beethoven'.
A film was made from these books. The director
Paul Morrisey realised this film in 1985.
Wolfgang Reichman played Ludwig van Beethoven,
Dietmar Printz is Karl, Mathieu Carrière
is the archduke Rodolphe. Also in this film:
Jane Birkin et Nathalie Baye.
