Symphonies Of Beethoven Greenberg Robert by Greenberg, Robert instant download after payment.

There can be few people who have not heard Beethoven’s name, the famous
first four notes of his fifth symphony, or the first strains of his “Ode to Joy.”
Beethoven is one of the most revered composers in the history of Western
music.
Why? He possessed a unique gift for communication. He radiated an
absolute directness that makes his music totally accessible. The sheer
emotional power of his music is readily understood. His revolutionary
compositional ideas are not hard to appreciate.
Beethoven is widely recognized as one of the greatest of all symphonists—
the composer who ripped apart the regimented formulas of classical
symphonic style. His nine symphonies are the cornerstone of orchestral
literature. The revolution that they represent influenced composers for the
next hundred years and more. It was a revolution on every level: harmonic,
melodic, rhythmic, formal, dramatic, self-expressive, and emotional.
Beethoven led the charge to a totally new era. He booted out the restraint of
18 th
-century classicism and ushered in romantic self-expression. His
symphonic offspring were the first statesmen of this new, musical
democracy
