When Ludwig van Beethoven died in March 1827, the world of music felt an intense loss. The composer's funeral procession was one of the largest Vienna had ever witnessed, and the poet Franz Grillparzer's eulogy brought the tensions between the composer's life and music into sharp focus: the deaf and aloof genius, the alienated and eccentric artist, unable to form a lasting relationship with a woman but reaching out to mankind. These apparent contradictions were to attract many Beethoven biographers yet to come.     Here, Lewis Lockwood, himself a much-lauded Beethoven biographer, tells the story of Beethoven biography, from the earliest attempts made directly after the composer's death to the present day. Beethoven's Lives casts a wide net, tracing the story of Beethoven biography from Anton Schindler as biographer and falsifier, through the authoritative Alexander Wheelock Thayer and down to the present. The list includes Gustav Nottebohm, the first scholar to study Beethoven's sketchbooks. With his work, biography could begin to reflect on the inner life of the artist as expressed in his music, and in this sense, sketchbooks could be seen as artistic diaries. Even Richard Wagner thought of writing a Beethoven biography, and the late nineteenth and early twentieth century saw the emergence of French and English traditions of Beethoven biography.    In the tumultuous twentieth century, with world wars and fractured politics, the writing of Beethoven biography was sometimes caught up in the storm. By bringing the story down to our time, Lewis Lockwood identifies traditions of Beethoven biography that today's scholars and writers need to be aware of. As Lockwood shows, each biography reflects not only on the individual writer's knowledge and interests, but also his inner sense of purpose as each writer works within the intellectual framework of his time.    LEWIS H. LOCKWOOD is one of the leading authorities on Beethoven worldwide. Having taught at Princeton and Harvard, some of his key Beethoven publications include: Beethoven: The Music and the Life (Norton, 2003; translated into many languages), as well as Beethoven's Symphonies: An Artistic Vision (Norton, 2015) and with the Julliard String Quartet: Inside Beethoven's Quartets: History, Performance, Interpretation (Harvard University Press, 2008).  He is known for his studies of Beethoven's life and work, including the composer's autograph manuscripts and sketchbooks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737858908433,"sku":"NGR9781783275519","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50106565591313,"sku":"CIN1783275510G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51051487133969,"sku":"NIN9781783275519","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51873778008337,"sku":"GOR014439396","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1783275510.jpg?v=1751026606"},{"product_id":"beethoven-book-lewis-lockwood-9780393050813","title":"Beethoven","description":"In this brilliant portrayal of the world's most famous composer, eminent Beethoven scholar Lewis Lockwood interweaves his subject's musical and biographical dimensions and places them in their historical and artistic contexts.

It presents seven critical and historical essays by some of the most important American and European Beethoven specialists of our time.

Indeed Beethoven's extensive sketchbooks (which total over 8,000 pages) and the autograph manuscripts, covering several stages of development, reveal the composer systematically exploring and evolving his musical ideas. Through close investigation of individual works, Lewis Lockwood traces the creative process as it emerges in Beethoven's sketches and manuscripts. Four studies address the composition of the \"Eroica\" symphony from various viewpoints. The chamber works discussed include the Cello Sonata in A Major, Opus 69 (of which the entire autograph manuscripts of the first movement is published here in facsimile), the string quartet Opus 59 No. 1, and the Cavatina of the later quartet Opus 130. Lockwood's analysis enhances our understanding of Beethoven's musical strategies and stylistic developments as well as the compositional process itself. In a final chapter the author outlines the importance of Beethoven's autographs for the modern performer. Lewis Lockwood is also author of \"Music in Renaissance Ferrara\" which won the Kinkeldey (music) and Marraro (history) prizes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423146082577,"sku":"CIN0674063627G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674063627.jpg?v=1751105370"},{"product_id":"music-in-renaissance-ferrara-1400-1505-book-lewis-lockwood-9780193164048","title":"Music in Renaissance Ferrara, 1400-1505","description":"Winner of the Kinkeldy Award of the American Musicological Society and the Marrano Prize of the Society for Italian Historical Studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51699400507665,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51699400573201,"sku":"GOR009601107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0193164043.jpg?v=1750843226"},{"product_id":"music-in-renaissance-ferrara-1400-1505-book-lewis-lockwood-9780195378276","title":"Music in Renaissance Ferrara 1400-1505","description":"Based on extensive documentary and archival research, Music in Renaissance Ferrara is a study of the rise of music at a vital center of Italian Renaissance culture, focusing on the patrons and musicians whose efforts gave Ferrara a primary role in European music during the fifteenth century. The successive rulers of the Italian city-state, members of the Este dynasty, brought to Ferrara some of the most important composers of the period, including Guillaume Dufay, Johannes Martini, Jacob Obrecht, and Josquin Desprez. Moreover, Ferrara has long been famous as the seat of activity of three of the most important poets of the period - Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso - as well as for its school of painting and manuscript production and illumination. With Lewis Lockwood's Music in Renaissance Ferrara, the city-state steps forward as a major musical center as well. Winner of the Otto Kinkeldey Award of the American Musicological Society for its original 1985 edition, this current paperback edition of  Music in Renaissance Ferrara features a new preface that re-introduces the book and reflects on its contribution to our modern knowledge of music in the culture of the Italian Renaissance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52484881973521,"sku":"NLS9780195378276","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195378276.jpg?v=1759856924"},{"product_id":"beethoven-book-lewis-lockwood-9780674430181","title":"Beethoven","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53007031894289,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53007032484113,"sku":"NLS9780674430181","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780674430181.jpg?v=1767899361"},{"product_id":"music-in-renaissance-ferrara-1400-1505-book-lewis-lockwood-9780674591318","title":"Music in Renaissance Ferrara, 1400-1505","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53560205213969,"sku":"CIN0674591313G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780674591318.jpg?v=1778781626"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-lewis-lockwood.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
