About this product
Product Information
The premier of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Vienna on May 7, 1824, was the most significant artistic event of the year--and the work remains one of the most precedent-shattering and influential compositions in the history of music. Described in vibrant detail by eminent musicologist Harvey Sachs, this symbol of freedom and joy was so unorthodox that it amazed and confused listeners at its unveiling--yet it became a standard for subsequent generations of creative artists, and its composer came to embody the Romantic cult of genius. In this unconventional, provocative book, Beethoven's masterwork becomes a prism through which we may view the politics, aesthetics, and overall climate of the era. Part biography, part history, part memoir, The Ninth brilliantly explores the intricacies of Beethoven's last symphony--how it brought forth the power of the individual while celebrating the collective spirit of humanity.

Reviews
"This book is a great read for expert musicians and for people who can't read a note of music. It is a very personal, loving view of Beethoven and his last symphony, but it also presents a fascinating historic panorama." Pl cido Domingo "Harvey Sachs brings to the fabled Ninth Symphony the broadest range yet of cultural and artistic testimony about Beethoven and about art." Scott Burnham, Professor of Music History, Princeton University and author of Beethoven Hero "Harvey Sachs has written excellent books about music and musicians. Here he turns his-and our-attention to one of the great monuments of music. We think we know this symphony quite well. How wrong we are! This book will help us to understand it better." -Andr s Schiff "Harvey Sachs is a superb writer, a fine musical mind, scholar, and an astute cultural historian. His new book on Beethoven's Ninth, written within the world of 1824, is a dazzling display of erudition-and high entertainment!" -David Dubal, professor, The Julliard School, and author of Evenings with Horowitz From the Hardcover edition., "All music lovers should run, not walk, to purchase The Ninth ." -San Francisco Chronicle "An inspiring examination of one of music's supreme masterpieces." -Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Insightful . . . Reading this book, you feel for the composer, trying to bond with others through an astonishing symphony." -The New York Times "Sachs' enthusiasm is infectious, his knowledge impressive." -USA Today "A revelatory ride through a creative time and four symphonic movements." -The Dallas Morning News "Will send readers to their CD players." -The Washington Post, "All music lovers should run, not walk, to purchase The Ninth ." --San Francisco Chronicle "An inspiring examination of one of music's supreme masterpieces." --Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Insightful . . . Reading this book, you feel for the composer, trying to bond with others through an astonishing symphony." --The New York Times "Sachs' enthusiasm is infectious, his knowledge impressive." --USA Today "A revelatory ride through a creative time and four symphonic movements." --The Dallas Morning News "Will send readers to their CD players." --The Washington Post
