Softcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. From the Author's Preface: "I believe that in his greatest music Beethoven was primarily concerned to express his personal vision of life. This vision was, of course, the product of his character and his experience. Beethoven the man and Beethoven the composer are not two unconnected entiti…es, and the known history of the man may be used to throw light upon the character of his music." Clifton Fadiman has said of this classic study: "It is the most interesting book on music that I have ever read and it is not written for musical experts; rather for people like myself who like to listen to music but can boast no special knowledge of it. It deals not only with music, on which I do not speak with authority, but with human life in general, about which you and I speak with authority every day of our lives." Piece(s) of the spine missing. Significant damage due to wetness. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En los tres últimos siglos, los musicólogos concluyeron arbitrariamente que la música no significa nada. Sin embargo, una teoría actual del arte requiere tener en cuenta que la subjetividad y riqueza de la música puede evocar estados de conciencia esenciales para la humanidad. La obra de… Beethoven es un claro ejemplo de tales estados: no sólo nos habla de su creatividad, sino que nos revela a un gran espíritu capaz de comprender el carácter fundamental de la vida en su doble aspecto de aceptación del sufrimiento y de realización heroica. A través de sus reflexiones, Sullivan nos ofrece una nueva comprensión sobre la relación entre la música y la vida del compositor más importante de la historia: «Cuanto más vivía, más y más profundo era lo que tenía que decir? A medida que se hacía viejo, su fuerza aumentaba? Pero en algunos de sus últimos cuartetos se encuentra un pulso todavía más fuerte, aunque más sutil»: el pulso de la trascendencia. Como Beethoven, «sólo los grandes artistas y los maestros espirituales nos impresionan como personas completas». *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Through the lens of history, philosophy, and personal anecdotes, the book examines how scientific discoveries have influenced our perspectives on everything from the meaning of existence to the nature of artistic expression. Ultimately, it highlights the unique and indispensable role of science in our pursuit of knowledge, meaning, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the history and development of our understanding of the universe. The author takes readers on a fascinating journey, exploring the foundations of Newtonian physics and examining the assumptions that underpinned our scientific understanding for ce…nturies. The book delves into the key concepts of Newtonian physics, such as absolute space, absolute time, force, and inertia, and presents a compelling argument for why these concepts, while seemingly intuitive, may not be as fundamental as once thought. The author challenges readers to consider the limitations of these concepts in describing the physical world and paves the way for a discussion of alternative frameworks for understanding the universe. The book's exploration of the Newtonian philosophy provides a rich historical context for appreciating the revolutionary nature of Einstein's theory of relativity and its impact on our understanding of space, time, and gravity. This thought-provoking book invites readers to engage in a deeper examination of the very foundations of our scientific knowledge.
