This picture book for the whole family tells the story of Ludwig van Beethoven who is generally regarded as one of music's greatest composers. His story is especially inspiring since he had completely lost his hearing by age 31. He composed nine symphonies, as well as hundreds of sonatas, concertos, and songs. The illustrations provide a visual reference for the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A chronology makes this especially useful for elementary and middle school music reference collections. The 50-minute CD that is included with this book has excerpts from some of his most beloved works including Moonlight Sonata and his magnificent Ninth Symphony. Minimize

The string quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven, the signal achievement of “that noble genre,” have rewarded the engagement of scholars, performers, and audiences for almost two hundred years. This book and its accompanying recording invite you to experience three of these profound and beautiful works of music from the inside, with a leading Beethoven scholar and a premier performing ensemble as your guides. Lewis Lockwood provides historical and biographical background along with musical analysis, drawing on the most important insights of recent scholarship on Beethoven’s life and works. The members of the Juilliard Quartet share the fruits of decades of performing and teaching these compositions through annotated scores and recordings of the first movements of three representative quartets, including the rarely heard original version of opus 18 no. 1. And all parties join in lively and illuminating conversations that range from details of bowing and articulation to Beethoven’s development as a composer to the social history of the nineteenth century. Inside Beethoven’s Quartets illustrates how scholarly knowledge can inform a performance, as well as how performers’ interpretive choices can illuminate this sublime music. (20080719) Minimize

Ludwig van Beethoven invented jazz. That statement might seem enough to provoke a paroxysm from a musicologist, but, with a passage in his final piano sonata, Beethoven created the first example of pure swing in the history of music. We might also wonder how the serious-minded Johannes Brahms could open a sonata movement with a walking bass blues that smacks of the Mississippi Delta, or how Modest Mussorgsky, in his "Pictures at an Exhibition," foreshadows Quincy Jones. This album makes these extraordinary connections before exploring the profound influence of jazz on composers of the 20th century, from Maurice Ravel to Leonard Bernstein. Minimize

Some of Beethoven's letters indicate that the String Quartet in c-sharp minor, Op. 131, was the composer's own favorite among his late string quartets. Typical of music from his late period, the quartet strives for expression, expanding themes and throwing off the restrictive rules of structure. It consists of seven movements, which is unusual in itself (even Beethoven would normally write only four); adding to this is the dark, reflective nature of the first movement, a slow fugue. Richard Wagner would later praise the quartet, and this movement in particular, saying that ''it reveals the most melancholy sentiment ever expressed in music.''

Staff Recommended: ''Any violinist who has played chamber music is familiar with the charm and sublime beauty of these early quartets by the great master. And there are many editions available. My favorite edition is from Continental Publishing: Not only is the paper of the highest quality, with all page turns in convenient places, but this version is edited by none other than members of the great Guarneri String Quartet. A true performance edition, it is loaded with practical and detailed performance notes, fingerings and bowings that beautifully integrate all four parts into a command performance. For any serious chamber player, this is a 'must have', and what I is the best edition of these works.'' - Val Jaskiewicz, Violinist and VP of Merchandising For contents, please see '' Item Includes ''.  Parts edited by members of the Guarneri Quartet.  Published by Continental Publishing.

Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonatas for Piano and Violin should be considered chamber music, rather than violin solos with accompaniment. Beethoven, being primarily a keyboard player, wrote intricate, challenging parts for the pianist, matching (and occasionally exceeding) the virtuosity of the violin part. Thus, the sonatas should be approached as musical dialogues between two equal parties. This complete edition contains editorial markings by Fritz Kreisler.  Published by International Music Company. Difficulty: ASTA grade 5 NOTE: This item includes all 10 Sonatas.  For a complete list of contents, please see '' Item Includes ''. Minimize
