WAYNE M. SENNER, ROBIN WALLACE, WILLIAM RHEA MEREDITH - The Critical Reception of Beethoven's Compositions by His German Contemporaries

Title: The Critical Reception of Beethoven's Compositions by His German Contemporaries
Description: U of Nebraska Press, 1999. Hardcover. Pp: 261. Compiled here are reviews, reports, notes, and essays found in German-language periodicals published between 1783 and 1830. The documents are translated into English with copious notes and annotations, an introductory essay, and indexes of names, subjects, and works. This volume contains a general section and documents on specific opus numbers up to opus 54, with musical examples redrawn from the original publications. ø The collection brings to light contemporary perceptions of Beethoven?s music, including matters such as audience, setting, facilities, orchestra, instruments, and performers as well as the relationship of Beethoven?s music to theoretical and critical ideas of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These documents, most of which appear in English for the first time, present a wide spectrum of insights into the perceptions that Beethoven?s contemporaries had of his monumental music.
