| | 2. |  | Beethoven (Master Musicians)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $17.17
Customer Review:
British musicologist and Beethoven scholar Barry Cooper's 2000 biography of the iconic composer is aimed at the serious classical music lover. It combines reconstructing Beethoven's life from as reliable sources as possible and discussing his music. Unlike Lewis Lockwood's 2003 biography, which... more info

| | 6. | [no image] | Ludwig Van Beethoven
from San Val
Price: $17.15
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
from Schirmer Books
Price: $49.99
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

| | 8. |  | Beethoven: The Music and the Life
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $24.00
Customer Review:
Something of a Beethoven connoisseur I picked up this biography in the library, hoped to understand a little more about Beethoven.

| | 9. |  | Playing the Beethoven Piano Sonatas
from Amadeus Press
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas, along with the two books of Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, form the summit of the pianist's art. These are works that all pianists must confront and, to a greater or lesser extent, master. The greatest pianists, the true artists, indelibly stamp these... more info

| | 10. |  | Late Beethoven: Music, Thought, Imagination
from University of California Press
Price: $8.75
Customer Review:
Very disappointing. I expected this book to help me enjoy late Beethoven by illuminating aspects of his music either through analysis of the music itself, relationships with other compositions, or interesting events in Beethoven's life at the time. Instead, the book seems to be a collection of... more info
