The Great Composers and Their Music 6: Beethoven
This volume explores the remarkable life and music of Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most celebrated and influential composers in the history of classical music. It traces his journey from his early years in Bonn to his rise as a musical genius in Vienna, where he transformed the world of music through his innovation and artistic vision. The book examines Beethoven's most important works, including his symphonies, piano sonatas, concertos, string quartets and sacred compositions. It highlights masterpieces such as the Symphony No. 5, Symphony No. 9, and Moonlight Sonata, explaining how they reflected both his personal struggles and his revolutionary approach to composition. A significant focus is placed on Beethoven's battle with hearing loss, which gradually led to deafness but did not prevent him from creating some of the greatest music ever written. The book shows how his determination, creativity and emotional depth helped bridge the Classical and Romantic periods, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire musicians and audiences worldwide. Full colour artwork throughout. Good condition. Softcover, 30cm x 23cm, 152 pages.
