Synopsis
Even in Beethoven's day the 'Moonlight' Sonata was a popular favourite. This 1999 book provides an accessible introduction to the Sonatas Opp. 27 and 31 (including The 'Moonlight' and 'The Tempest'), aimed at pianists, students, and music lovers. It begins with the works' historical background - the emergence of a 'piano culture' at the end of the eighteenth century, Beethoven's aristocratic milieu in Vienna, and his oft-quoted intention to follow a new compositional path. An account of the sonatas' genesis is followed by a discussion of their reception history, including a survey of changing performing styles since the mid-nineteenth century. The concept of the Sonata quasi una Fantasia is examined in relation to the cult of artistic sensibility in early-nineteenth-century Vienna. The study concludes with a critical introduction to each sonata., This 1999 book is a comprehensive introduction to Beethoven's most popular piano sonata, together with the four other sonatas in Opp. 27 and 31. Aimed at pianists, students and music-lovers, it gives an account of the sonatas' historical background, their changing performance styles, and offers an accessible critical introduction to the music., Even in Beethoven's day everyone was talking about the "Moonlight" Sonata. This is a comprehensive introduction to Beethoven's most popular piano sonata, together with the four other sonatas in Op. 27 and Op. 31. Aimed at pianists, students and music lovers, it gives an account of the sonatas' historical background, their changing performance styles, and offers an accessible critical introduction to the music.

    As others have mentioned, shipping is very slow and communication is non-existent. The book I received had formerly library nations in it, and damaged corners and dust jacket, none of which was indicated in the listing. The book was shipped in a flimsy, thin envelope. I would not recommend this seller.
