| | 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 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

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

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

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 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)
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
