Goethe And Beethoven (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164503507)

""Goethe and Beethoven"" is a book written by Romain Rolland that explores the relationship between two of the most iconic figures in German culture: the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The book delves into the similarities and differences between the two men, their creative processes, and the impact they had on each other's work. Rolland examines the influence of Goethe's poetry on Beethoven's music, as well as the composer's own literary interests and how they shaped his compositions. He also explores the ways in which Goethe and Beethoven were both shaped by the cultural and political climate of their time, including the French Revolution and the rise of Romanticism. Through a combination of historical research and critical analysis, ""Goethe and Beethoven"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of two of the most celebrated artists of the 18th and 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
