'[An] extraordinary and exciting book' John Simpson'Wonderful driven by deep love and an infectious sense of wonder a different kind of Beethoven book.' Strings'Love for this music shines through on every page if you or someone you know is a Beethoven fan, this is the book for them.' Dr Leah Broad, author of Quartet: How Four Women Changed the Musical World'[A] fantastic book ... easy to read and follow, yet deep enough for experienced music lovers. [...] Each quartet receives its own chapter and each starts with a short journey in time to reveal the historical and cultural background of the piece. The music itself is analyzed movement by movement, but these are not technical descriptions with musical jargon. Like a guide, rather, these are insightful narrations, often very funny and always properly connecting to the music.' Popular BeethovenBeethovens string quartets have long been held up as the pinnacle of chamber music: their fertility, complexity, depth and range mark them out as amongst the greatest of all musical creations. Yet they are also elusive, slippery works of art.In his new book, David Vernon author of Disturbing the Universe: Wagners Musikdrama and Beauty and Sadness: Mahlers 11 Symphonies explores these exquisite and challenging pieces, probing their integrity and individuality while also placing the quartets within the context of Beethovens life and other music, especially his symphonies and piano sonatas.A chapter is devoted to each work, with an indepth essay followed by detailed movementbymovement guides, revealing where they came from, how they are put together and why they remain so relevant and celebrated today.WITH AN AFTERWORD BY JOHN SIMPSON
