| Abstract | This guide covers every significant aspect of Beethoven's output. Distinguished scholars, each of whom is also a skilled and compelling writer, take the reader through each principal genre of composition. Separate sections are devoted to Beethoven as man and artist, the piano music, the chamber music, the orchestral works, the opera "Fidelio" and the vocal music, the manuscripts and their publication, and the book concludes with a fascinating review of the ups and downs of the composer's reputation. The music is discussed in the context of its background. |
