Beethoven: The Man Revealed by John Suchet

Beethoven: The Man Revealed by John Suchet
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was expecting something different, with a more careful eye to the musical life of this composer, but this book, however well documented, offers only the vision on the biography of the author, and appointing the works gradually. Clear that it is also useful to know what was going on at that time to the musician to get an idea of the whole situation, but I would have preferred less soap opera and more music.

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di diverso, con un occhio piú attento alla parte musicale della vita di questo compositore, invece questo libro, per quanto ben documentato, offre solo la visione sulla parte biografica dell'autore e nominando le opere via via. Chiaro che serve anche sapere quello che stava succedendo in quel momento al musicista per avere un'idea d'insieme piú chiara del tutto, ma avrei preferito meno telenovela e piú musica.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND GROVE ATLANTIC FOR THE PREVIEW!
