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: The Universal Composer (Eminent Lives)

Harper Collins, 2005

Well written short biography of Beethoven
Edmund Morris' biography of Ludwig van Beethoven, part of the "Eminent Lives" series, is delightful. Edmund Morris has written biographies of Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. He also plays piano, studies music, and has been examining Beethoven for decades and ...
  
  











  



  
The 39 Apartments of Ludwig Van Beethoven

Bravo!

Beethoven's Wig
Richard Perlmutter

Rounder Books, 2005

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 ...
