内容简介This book discusses Beethoven's music and the personal and historical contexts in which it was composed and has been received. Chapters are devoted to all the major genres cultivated by Beethoven and to the elements of style and structure that cross all genres. The Companion also considers the ways that Beethoven and his music have been interpreted by performers, writers on music, and in the arts, literature, and philosophy. This volume reflects both traditional emphases in Beethoven studies and recent developments in musicology and theory.

Early Music Review ' ... a notable addition to the bibliography of the composer, using the researches of writers who are specialists in their field.'

Every chapter offers genuine food for thought.' W.

Product Description

This Companion provides a comprehensive view of Beethoven and his work. The first part of the book presents the composer as a private individual, as a professional, and at the work-place, discussing biographical problems, Beethoven’s professional activities when not composing and his methods as a composer. In the heart of the book, individual chapters are devoted to all the major genres cultivated by Beethoven and to the elements of style and structure that cross all genres. The book concludes by looking at the ways that Beethoven and his music have been interpreted by performers, writers on music, and in the arts, literature, and philosophy. The essays in this volume, written by leading Beethoven specialists, maintain traditional emphases in Beethoven studies while incorporating some of the most recent developments in musicology and theory.
