Title: Beethoven after Napoleon
Description: "In this analysis of Beethoven's late style, Stephen Rumph demonstrates how political events shaped the composer's music, from his early enthusiasm for the French Revolution to his later entrenchment during the Napoleonic era. Impressive in its breadth of research as well as for its devotion to interdisciplinary work in music history, Beethoven after Napoleon challenges accepted views by illustrating the influence of German Romantic political thought in the formation of the artist's mature style."--BOOK JACKET.
