Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career-even in the face of deafness-Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, the music historian Mark Evan Bonds argues, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Beethoven approached music as he approached life, weighing whatever occupied him from a variety of perspectives: a melodic idea, a musical genre, aword or phrase, a friend, a lover, a patron, money, politics, religion. His ability to unlock so many possibilities from each helps explain the emotional breadth and richness of his output as a whole,from the heaven-storming Ninth Symphony to the eccentric Eighth, and from the arcane Great Fugue to the crowd-pleasing Wellington's Victory. Beethoven's works, Bonds argues, are a series of variations on his life. The iconic scowl so familiar from later images of the composer is but one of many attitudes he could assume and project through his music. The supposedly characteristic furrowed brow and frown, moreover, came only after his time. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bondsproposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self. Beethoven's music expresses far more than just the iconic scowl we so often imagine when listening to his works. In this fresh perspective, Mark Evan Bonds proposes a new way of hearing Beethoven's music as a series of variations on the composer's entire self, not just his scowling self.
