Reviews
Kinderman brilliantly rescues a fundamental concept for Beethoven's work from the analytical cul-de-sac of overly synoptic motivic or tonal analyses. A wealth of information about Beethoven's life and works is compressed into this remarkable book, and it is a testament to Kinderman's literary as well as scholarly abilities that it never reads like a survey. --Robert Hatten, Indiana Theory Review<br>
