	Review \| Beethoven's Hair by Russell Martin
		Hiller was 15 at the time of Beethoven's death and -- due to Hummel's friendship with the composer -- had visited the ailing man several times.
		Hiller seems to have only very narrowly escaped from becoming one of those composers who remain household names to this day.
		The balance of Hiller's life seemed to follow the path set in Paris: he was always in the company of greatness, though he seems to have only narrowly missed that boat himself, although he was esteemed during his lifetime.

		Hiller had first come to Paris in 1828 where he met Berlioz; their friendship had a number of side-effects, both musical and personal.
		Hiller stayed in fact several more years in Paris, till 1835, and Berlioz wrote to him frequently during his stay in Italy in 1831 and 1832.
		Hiller evidently hoped to entice Berlioz to stop again in Cologne on his way to Russia in November 1867, but Berlioz was unable to accept (CG no. 3281, October 1867, the last preserved letter of Berlioz to Hiller).

		It was not until 1871 that Kapellmeister Ferdinand Hiller, the corpulent dean of music in the Rhine-side city of Cologne, first described for fascinated German readers what it had been like to meet Ludwig van Beethoven and what, in fact, the circumstances of the master composer's final days had been.
		Ferdinand Hiller had made the snow-slowed journey from Weimar to musical, magical Vienna with his piano and composition instructor, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, in the early spring of 1827 because Hummel had heard the now far-flung news that his old friend and musical rival was dying.
		Ferdinand Hiller had been born in Frankfurt in 1811, the son of a wealthy merchant who, in order to help conceal his Jewish identity at a time when anti-Semitism was rising perilously in Europe, had changed his name late in the eighteenth century from Isaac Hildesheim to Justus Hiller.

	About the book
		In those days, it was customary to snip a lock of hair as a keepsake, and this Hiller did a day after Beethoven's death.
		For a century, the lock of hair was a treasured Hiller family relic, and perhaps was destined to end up sequestered in a bank vault, until it somehow found its way to the town of Gilleleje, in Nazi-occupied Denmark, during the darkest days of the Second World War.
		The results, revealed for the first time here, are startling, and are the most compelling explanation yet offered for why one of the foremost musicians the world has ever known was forced to spend much of his life in silence.

		After Dr. Fremming died, her daughter consigned the hair for auction to Sotheby's in London and 582 strands of hair, 3 to 6 inches long were sold for $7,300 to Ira Brilliant, Alfredo Guevera and other members of the Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies at California's San Jose State University.

		As Ludwig van Beethoven lay dying in 1827, a young musician named Ferdinand Hiller came to pay his respects.
		This seemingly innocuous relic was passed down for more than a century through Hiller's family, until, during the second world war, it somehow found its way to the town of Gilleleje, in Nazi-occupied Denmark.
		Subsequently, they and others have instituted DNA and other tests on the hair in the hope of revealing the probable causes of the composer's famously bad health, his deafness, and his final demise, witnessed by Ferdinand Hiller all those years ago.

		When fifteen-year-old Ferdinand Hiller - music student and aspiring composer - snipped a lock of hair from Beethoven's body, he cannot have imagined that it would resurface at public auction more than a century and a half later.
		The likely explanation is that the grandson of Ferdinand Hiller - the family was Jewish and had changed its name from Hildesheim -- fled to Denmark to escape from the Nazis, and then gave the lock to the doctor in gratitude for getting him out.
		All the main protagonists are dead, and the doctor never told anyone how he came to be in possession of the lock, not even, apparently, his wife.

		March 1827, 15 year-old Ferdinand Hiller cut off a lock of Beethoven's hair; as it turns out the composer was given a fair old short back and sides by the time he was laid to rest, so what happened to all the other locks?
		The Hiller family was Jewish but may have tried to conceal the fact.
		It's possible that a Hiller descendant was among sixty that were betrayed in their attempt to get away to Sweden from Gillelje, and before transportation to Theriesienstadt concentration camp gave the locket to Fremming in an attempt to either save himself or at least stop it falling into Nazi hands.

		Yet when Ferdinand Hiller snipped a lock of hair from Beethoven's corpse, he set off a chain of events that nearly 175 years later helped to identify the ailment that had afflicted the moody titan for much of his life.
		Hiller, the young man who took the famous snippet of hair, had accompanied his music instructor on several visits to the dying Beethoven in 1827.
		The lock, consisting of more than 500 hairs, stayed in Hiller's family for more than a hundred years, eventually winding up as the property of a Danish doctor who had helped Jews escape Nazi oppression.
