Book Description
“Beethoven, A Character Study Together with Wagner's Indebtedness to Beethoven” explores the personality and biography of the well-known German musician Ludwig van Beethoven. Fischer's study, which was published in 1880, attempts to offer readers a better understanding of Beethoven's character, creative disposition, and the influence of his masterpieces on the music industry. The book delves deeply into Beethoven's impact on musicians of all kinds, especially Richard Wagner, in addition to examining his biography. In his analysis of Wagner's debt to Beethoven, Fischer highlights how the composer's inventive and ground-breaking approach to music had a lasting influence on Wagner's compositions and ideas. Fischer probably goes into detail on the composer's hardships, such as his hearing loss, which started in his late 20s, and how he surmounted hardship to write a number of the most famous and cutting-edge pieces in the history of classical music.

Moonlighting
Author: Nathan Waddell
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192548646
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
How and why did the life and music of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) matter to experimental writers in the early twentieth century? Previous answers to this question have tended to focus on structural analogies between musical works and literary texts, charting the many different ways in which poetry and prose resemble Beethoven's compositions. This book takes a different approach. It focuses on how early twentieth-century writers—chief among them E. M. Forster, Aldous Huxley, Wyndham Lewis, Dorothy Richardson, Rebecca West, and Virginia Woolf—profited from the representational conventions associated in the nineteenth century and beyond with Beethovenian culture. The emphasis of Moonlighting falls for the most part on how modernist writers made use of Beethovenian legend. It is concerned neither with formal similarities between Beethoven's music and modernist writing nor with the music of Beethoven per se, but with certain ways of understanding Beethoven's music which had long before 1900 taken shape as habit, myth, cliché, and fantasy, and with the influence they had on experimental writing up to 1930. Moonlighting suggests that the modernists drew knowingly and creatively on the conventional. It proposes that many of the most experimental works of modernist literature were shaped by a knowing reliance on Beethovenian consensus; in short, that the literary modernists knew Beethovenian legend when they saw it, and that they were eager to use it.
