ISBN: 9780198163992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany books have been written about Beethoven. But it is rare to find one that seeks an alternative between the fragmentation found in most specialized studies and the superficial overview typical of popular biography. In this volume, Carl Dahlhaus, one of the centurys leading musicologists, combines interpretations of individual works that focus on issues of composition and musical history, with excursions into the musical aesthetics of the period around 1800; an age that was not only a \"classical\" period in the history of the arts but also one in that aesthetics carved itself a place in the center of philosophical attention. The theme of the book is the reconstruction of Beethovens \"musical thinking\" from the evidence in the works themselves and their context in the history of ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986474430517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198163991","price":29.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198163992_bf2d126d-ddbf-4bf4-b3ac-e4a50f75802a.jpg?v=1778855217","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ludwig-van-beethoven-approaches-to-his-music-clarendon-paperbacks-9780198163992","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
