Summary: A WORK OF SERIOUS BEETHOVEN SCHOLARSHIP
Comment: Beethoven Forum, a work of serious Beethoven scholarship presents papers from the conference "Beethoven in Vienna, 1792-1803."

Editorial notes advise that this volume was created "to promote research in a relatively neglected area of Beethoven scholarship in its many dimensions; to engage in dialogue representatives from diverse branches of musicology; to scrutinize the usefulness of "style period" as a concept and parameter of research." That it does, and so much more.

One of the most influential German composers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Beethoven well merits this study. The ramifications of his genius are incalculable as the characteristics of much modern music stem from his creativity.

Young Beethoven was a court organist at the age of 14, a contemporary of Mozart, and a student of Haydn's. In the isolation of his deafness Beethoven composed some of the greatest works of music the world has ever known.

Beethoven Forum is a scholarly, revelatory tribute to a master.
