| Abstract |
Beethoven stands at the summit of the affections of music-lovers the world over. Not only is he a master musician but he is also among the master minds of all human history. Here, the author correlates all the available data into a coherent picture of the mental processes of the composer and, said The Times Literary Supplement, 'has harmonized the personality and the music into one convincing portrait.' This revised edition includes a new catalogue of works, arranged in categories instead of in a continuous chronological order. |
