Synopsis

Tia DeNora examines historical depictions of Beethoven's work in late eighteenth-century Vienna. K. M. Knittel also looks critically at traditional assumptions. Janet Schmalfeldt and Thomas Sipe discuss two of Beethoven's most beloved piano sonatas. Richard Taruskin identifies a potential borrowing in the "Fifth Symphony". Alain Frogley demonstrates subtle connections between rhythmic patterns and tonal plan in the "Pastoral Symphony". Christopher Reynolds clarifies how Romantic composers trod the narrow path between emulation and originality. William Rothstein contributes a precise analysis of one of Beethoven's complex compositional techniques.
