Manchester Beethoven studies

Zusatztext

<i>Manchester Beethoven studies</i>presents ten original chapters by scholars with close ties to the University of Manchester. It throws new light on many aspects of Beethovens life and works, with a special emphasis on early or little-known compositions such as his concert aria<i>Erste Liebe</i>, his String Quintet Op. 104 and his folksong settings. Biographical elements are prominent in a wide-ranging reassessment of his religious attitudes and beliefs, while Charles Hallé, founder of the Manchester-based Hallé Orchestra, is revealed to have been a tireless and energetic promoter of Beethovens music in the later nineteenth century.
