Kinderman's detailed examination of Beethoven's music traces the composer's intellectual and musical development, from the early works written in Bonn to the Ninth Symphony and the late quartets. Bringing fresh insight to the composer's aesthetic ideals and compositional methods, he shows how Beethoven's response to the political and philosophical currents of his time is reflected in some of his greatest masterpieces. Combining musical insight and the most recent research, Beethoven is both a portrait of the man and a guide to his music.
