Beethoven Forum, Volume 1

"In this collection of ten articles and one review, there are offerings by leading Beethoven scholars. Particularly impressive are the thought-provoking and provocative articles with innovative approaches to Beethoven musicology, for example, the works of Richard Kramer, Scott Burnham, and Julia Moore on musical narrative, extramusical validations, and economic considerations, respectively. These invite critical dialogue. This debut should receive kudos, as it does shed more light on Beethoven...it fills a niche left by the last Beethoven-Jahrbuch." - "Choice." "A commanding debut which serious music collections should consider." - "Library Journal".
