Beethoven's Ninth by Esteban Buch
In this remarkable history of one of the most popular symphonic works of the modern period, Esteban Buch traces the complex and contradictory uses - and abuses - of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony since its premiere in 1824. Sensitive and fascinating, this account of the tangled political existence of the symphony is a rare book that explores the life of an artwork through time, as it is shifted and realigned with the currents of history.
Esteban Buch is director of studies at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. He is the author of Histoire d'un secret: A propos de la Suite lyrique d'Alban Berg, Richard Miller has translated more than seventy books and articles from the French, including Roland Barthes's The Pleasure of the Text and Brassai's The Secret of the Thirties.
