My First Book of Classical Music: 29 Themes by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Other Great Composers in Easy ...
Bergerac
Dover Publications
, 2000
One of the best piano books ever !
When I bought "My First Book of Classical Music..." I was and still am amazed by how great this piano book has turned out to be. It has 29 themes by the true masters of Classical music. The songs are beginner level but the author Bergerac has to be commended for his ...
Ludwig Van Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas Volume 1 (Nos. 1-15)
Ludwig van Beethoven
Dover Publications
, 1975
Most bang for the buck
I might be biased because I almost exclusively buy Dover editions of piano music, but the LVB Sonata volumes are one of the better ones. Firstly, it's clear that you can't Dover on value. It'd cost more to photocopy the entire book than to buy it. I like the binding ...
Beethoven: The Music and the Life
Lewis Lockwood
W. W. Norton & Company
, 2005
UNQUESTIONABLY, ONE OF THE FINEST RECENT BOOKS ON THE MASTER...
Can't go wrong with this finely researched and well written tome on the Master.
The Norton Scores: Volume 1: Gregorian Chant to Beethoven, Tenth Edition (The Enjoyment of Music)
W. W. Norton
, 2007
The Norton Scores vol. 1
This text book was used in my music history class. I felt that it provided a fairly comprehensive overview of the span of time and composers it covers. It was especially valuable when used with the accompanying CDs. The info given about each composer and the featured ...

Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Full Score
Ludwig van Beethoven
Dover Publications
, 1989
Very good quality editions for study and listening - will last for years
I appreciate the Dover edition of these works because the large format makes for easier reading and provides room for making notes while you are studying. For example, you might want to make something special or unique to one recording so that when you listen to ...
Symphonies Nos. 5, 6 and 7 in Full Score
Ludwig van Beethoven
Dover Publications
, 1989
You will hear these works more clearly watching the score while you listen
Beethoven's Fifth, Sixth (Pastorale), and Seventh symphonies are among his most popular works. While I am sure you can hear the opening motive of the Fifth in your mind, it is typical to hear it as a triplet with a strong articulation of the first note. However, a ...
The Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
Charles Rosen
W. W. Norton & Company
, 1998
Classic writing about Classical music
Charles Rosen by now has attained a place among musical analysts on a par with the likes of Tovey and Grout, though his style is very different from either of these luminaries. Taking the music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven as the pinnacle of the musical style that ...
Bach, Beethoven and the Boys - Tenth Anniversary Edition!: Music History As It Ought To Be Taught
David W. Barber
Sound And Vision
, 1996
This is a book of HUMOR!
Um . . . this is a book of humor, not a book on music history. Well, maybe you have to be a music teacher who has struggled with teaching music history to 12-year-olds who are forced to be in your class to fully appreciate it all. I thought it was hilarious, but ...
Beethoven (Revised Edition)
Maynard Solomon
Schirmer Trade Books
, 2001
The DEFINITIVE Beethoven biography.
The title of my review encapsulates how I feel about this book. While honesty compells me to report that I have not completed reading this book, I have finished Edmund Morris's biography "Beethoven, the Universal Composer," and that book owes a lot to Solomon's book. ...

Beethoven's Wig
Richard Perlmutter
Rounder Books

For legions of Wig fans: the book is here!
Given the remarkable success of the Grammy-nominated Beethoven's Wig CDs, it's not surprising that the new children's book by the same name would be captivating, clever, and the very best in educational fun. The colorful, whimsical illustrations are wholly original in ...
