Beethoven (Oxford paperbooks)
by Donald Francis Tovey
Category: Beethoven, Ludwig van

"Many books have been written about Beethoven's music. But as a book which is short, clear, and witty, and which at the same time is a profoundly important study by a master of the subject, Tovey's Beethoven stands alone. It is not a work-by-work analysis: instead, Tovey brilliantly outlines the characteristic features of Beethoven's art. The book will be of absorbing interest not only to Beethoven enthusiasts, but also to those who may have just begun to listen to the music of one of the greatest of all composers."--Back cover.
