The Beethoven Syndrome by Mark Evan Bonds
The Beethoven Syndrome: Hearing Music as Autobiography traces the rise, fall, and persistence of a radical new mode of listening from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present.
A tour de force of scholarship and argumentationReconstructing the changing discourses surrounding music in different decades of European history, Bonds boldly challenges commonly held beliefs about composers "expressing themselves" in music. * James Hepokoski, Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor of Music, Yale University *
It is now common to link the tumults of Beethoven's life and the struggles that we hear in his music. In this revelatory book, Bonds draws on an astonishing range of writers to explain how this happened, and how it has affected listeners and composer ever since. * Christopher Reynolds, Distinguished Professor of Music, Emeritus, UC Davis *
