This is a near impossible puzzle if you don't have a key piece of outside knowledge and a supplemental piece of equipment. Below is a graded hint system leading to the answer, which is a single word.
Spoiler!
1) This puzzle involves you figuring out a clue (74 min) that relates to an item, placing the item on the page and using it to reveal the answer which is hidden in the jumble of letters on the page.
Spoiler!
2) '74 min' is '74 minutes', which is the industry-standard length of audio time on a Compact Disc (CD). Unnecessary to the puzzle --but interesting to do-- is to Google 'why does a CD have 74 minutes of music on it?' to get the full Beethoven backstory.
Spoiler!
3) Get a CD and place it on the page so the (74 min) shows through the hole in the CD. Look at the remaining letters on the page, focusing on the ones that curve just around the edge of the CD.
And the answer is:

This one is very stupid. Why would the author assumes people have this item available to them to solve the riddle?
Spoiler!
]In this day and age where everyone uses Spotify and Youtube to listen to music, who buys CDs anymore? I have none (zero) at my place and could not solve this puzzle without relying on this page to just straight give me the answer. Sure I used to have them around but moving in and out countries makes you get ride of the unnecessary clutters, which CDs were...
The book is meant to be solved with only and a pencil and an internet-connected device -- let's leave it at that and don't assume people have extra items on their hand...

Well, you could always google the size of a CD and cut one out of paper. :)
