SeriesBeethoven Forum Ser. Vol. 1
Summary Annotation <div>This inaugural volume of <i>Beethoven Forum</i> presents the work of ten leading scholars who focus on an array of matters that clearly illustrate the vitality of current thought on Beethoven.<p>Scott Burnham leads off the collection with a discussion of the reception of Beethoven's Third Symphony, the <i>Eroica</i>, a composition that continues to spur new interpretations. In succeeding chapters James Webster analyzes the formal sophistication of Beethoven's most influential and idiosyncratic creation, the last movement of his Ninth Symphony; Roger Kamien and William Kinderman examine piano sonatas; David Smyth and Richard Kramer investigate string quartets; Robert Freeman discusses his discovery of previously unknown cadenzas for Beethoven's piano concertos; Theodore Albrecht relates Beethoven's reading of Shakespeare to Beethoven's own life, and both to the "Tempest" Sonata; and Nicholas Marston uses Barry Cooper's recent work on Beethoven as the basis for a consideration of value of sketch studies. In an especially innovating article Julia Moore discusses the economic forces that shaped Beethoven's career.</p><p>An annual series, <i>Beethoven Forum</i> will serve as an international venue for articles, notes, queries, critical exchanges, and reviews.</p></div>
