Publisher's Synopsis

An acclaimed pianist and critic explores Beethoven's nine symphonies and explains their revolutionary effects on the orchestral form and on music in general. John Bell Young's in-depth analysis places each of the works in their historical and cultural context. Written in accessible, jargon-free terms, this survey constitutes an ideal introduction to the symphonies for beginners as well as a fine companion for Beethoven devotees.
