The dedication of a piece of music is a feature generally
overlooked, but it can reveal a great deal about the work, the
composer, the society and the music world in which the composer
lived. This book explores the musical, biographical and
sociological aspects of the practice of dedicating new compositions
in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and makes a significant
contribution towards a better understanding of the impact these
tributes had on Beethoven's life and work, and their function
within the context of the musical, cultural and economic
environments in which they appeared. As the first of its kind, this
study demonstrates that, as a result of their different functions,
published dedications and handwritten inscriptions are distinct
from one another, and for that reason they have been classified in
different categories. This book, therefore, challenges the idea of
what exactly can be termed as a 'dedication', a concept which
extends far beyond the dedication of musical works.
