Beethoven Studies 4, Paperback / softback Book

Beethoven Studies 4 Paperback / softback

Edited by Keith (Cardiff University) Chapin, David Wyn (Cardiff University) Jones

Part of the Cambridge Composer Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Did you know that Beethoven contemplated, however fleetingly, writing more than forty symphonies and that for the Missa solemnis he sought stimulus from a Latin-German dictionary? And what about the underappreciated sociable side of Beethoven's music to set alongside the familiar one of the heroic?

Beethoven Studies 4 is a collection of ten chapters that approach the composer and his music from an appealing range of critical standpoints, aesthetic, analytical, biographical, historical and performance.

Alongside essays that offer new information on Beethoven's compositional practice and broaden understanding of the music's contemporary and posthumous appeal, there are essays on his interaction with specific environments, Bonn and post-Napoleonic Austria, and vocal and piano performance practice.

The volume will appeal to cultural historians and practitioners as well as Beethoven enthusiasts.
