Abstract Stimulated by the bicentenary of the composer's birth, there has been a new surge of scholarly research into the life and music of this most celebrated of classic masters. Studies into the sources of his style, his methods of composition, and his influence upon contemporaries are casting new light on even the most famous works in the composer's canon. This book brings together a number of eminent authorities, who present new findings and fresh insights. After the editor's introduction, devoted to an overall view of the composer's significance, there are essays by contributors concerning the composer's sketches.
