Price, Lucien | October 16, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literally appraises the book "Beethoven the Creator," by Romain Rollanci. The book was translated by Ernest Newman. A biography in the formal sense this is not, although it abounds in biographical material. A study of Ludwig van Beethoven in his "great creative epochs," and, what is much more rare, a study of his creative process itself. The work is unique, for Rolland is peculiarly qualified. Musician, scholar, man of letters, with him Beethoven has been a lifelong study and a lifelong friend his Jean-Christophe is Beethoven reincarnated.
