The Cambridge Companion to Beethoven

Rating:
Summary: An Excellent Compendium...
Review:
With the superfulity of books on a great subject like Beethoven, it can be difficult to know where to start. Well, start here!

This is really a nice book filled with authoritative essays on the Master. It's recent, the information up-to-date, and it has a very scholarly ambience of respect and admiration for the great artist, but with a clear-eyed common-sense approach unmuddied by mythos. Highly recommended.
