Annotation

When Sullivan John Dwight (1813 – 1893) came up with the great Dwight’s Journal of music

in 1852, he established his reputation as being the first main American critic of art music.

Yet, the significance of his early career, and more so his significant purpose in the

introduction of Ludwig van Beethoven’s symphonies to one of music was not sophisticated to

the general public. This is because they have been shadowed by his later writings in the

music field. This work does present his formative years which explore the slow

championship of his symphonies in America and looks at his development of the criticism of

music. Frishberg Saloman goes on to analyze a range of writings by Dwight that were

between his early writings and the later ones.

Annotation

The volume presents an overview which is up to date on the performance, survey of the many

issues like influence of recording at work. It goes on to suggest some of the notable future

developments. The main aim encompasses a discussion of the performer’s period as well as

primary sources as well as how they are interpreted. It also lists the many kinds of style and

the major techniques which all come together to bring about a well-grounded timespan as

well as interpretation and survey of the performance practices. Majority of the principles that

have been outlined here are also covered in case studies written by Back, Brahms, Berlioz

and Mozart.

Weingartner, F. (1907). On the performance of Beethoven's symphonies. Edwin F. Kalmus.

Annotation

This volume does have English translations of 3 significant literary works authored by

Austrian conductor Felix Weingartner (1863 – 1942). The essay that is in the title concerns

some exemplary account of some given performing difficulties as well as questions that are

of interpretation in every nine symphonies. This is a great treatment which will be worthy to

music students. Some other features entail conducting and the symphony since Beethoven all

of which explain the belief that the author has that art is at its best when an intricately small

balance is placed between the intellect and the feeling.

Annotation

More than any given composer, Beethoven left behind a great volume of materials as well as

documents of almost anything he wrote in the early stages. From the volume of sketchbooks,

Lockwood Lewis comes up with the mind of the composer while bringing about some

creative process of great originality and scope. For the case of musicians as well as

nonmusicians in the same vein, Beethoven’s symphonies are placed at the greatest height of

realistic artistic achievement. They are still as loved as they were 200 years ago in the current
