1.[no image]Beethoven
from Schirmer Books

Customer Review:
I found this book unreadable and extremely boring. It was so dense with meaningless detail that the narrative flow virtually ceased - the endless inclusion of irrelevant detail sucked the life right out of the book for me. After a while I began skimming the pages in an effort to escape the onslaught... more info

from Harper Collins
Price: $16.03

Customer Review:
Edmund Morris' biography of Ludwig van Beethoven, part of the "Eminent Lives" series, is delightful. Edmund Morris has written biographies of Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.

3.Classical StyleClassical Style
from Faber and Faber

Customer Review:
This is an important and in many ways excellent book by Charles Rosen, who has also written other fine books. Rosen explains how the 18th-century sonata form was a logical extension and elaboration of what had come before and of what was inherent in traditional tonality. He shows that Romanticism... more info

from Dover Publications
Price: $13.45

Customer Review:
Beethoven's Letters
As a pianist, teacher, adjudicator, examiner, critic and author, I am often presented with performances of Beethoven's works that offer no insight or understanding of Beethoven the man or his music! When giving master classes, I encourage students to read his letters and... more info

5.Ludwig Van Beethoven (Getting to Know the World s Greatest Composers)Ludwig Van Beethoven (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers)
from Children's Press(CT)
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
Mike Venezia's Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers series tends to focus on biographies rather than music appreciation because unlike his companion series on the World's Greatest Artists you cannot include a sonata the way you can a reproduction of a painting. However, for Ludwig Van... more info

7.Beethoven: The Music and the LifeBeethoven: The Music and the Life
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $29.16

Customer Review:
Lockwood's Beethoven gives an excellent overview of the great composer's art, life and times. If one wants a bit more of a psychological profile, Maynard Solomon's biography is my favorite. Thayer's Life of Beethoven is a more stolid volume, but it also has much more detail about smaller events in... more info

8.Beethoven`s Piano Sonatas: A Short CompanionBeethoven`s Piano Sonatas: A Short Companion
from Yale University Press
Price: $28.00

Customer Review:

This is a nice read for hard-core Beethoven-heads. It'll change the way you approach playing the pieces, or at the least change the way you listen to them. There's nothing wrong with just listening to the music and absorbing it, not worrying about why a particular change is brilliant or why it... more info

10.Beethoven (Master Musicians Series)Beethoven (Master Musicians Series)
from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
"Beethoven" by Barry Cooper is much more than I had hoped when I ordered the book. I have been a lover of Beethoven's music for years. I always liked the movie "Immortal Beloved" and wondered how true to life the story was. As it turns out, the movie is only loosely based on Beethoven's life. There... more info
