I wonder if any of the Amis biographies shed light on his obsession with Carl Maria von Weber, who figures prominently in two of his novels ("The Alteration" and "Girl, 20"). In the latter, the narrator is working on a major biography of Weber, while in the former's alternate history scenario, Beethoven died earlier and Weber lived longer, cementing a reputation as greatest composer ever into the 20th century.
