This book aids the listener in getting beneath the surface of
Beethoven's two beloved symphonies.Composers often write pieces in
highly contrasting moods in very close proximity. But no composer
took this process further than Beethoven. His famous "Fifth
Symphony", with an opening familiar to anyone, became the standard
for the Romantic, tragedy to triumph, 'victory symphony'. The sunny
Sixth however represents a high-water mark of relaxed lyricism. On
a superficial listening, they couldn't sound more different from
one another. Yet by examining them more closely it is revealed that
they have more in common than their emotional trajectories might
suggest.This book aids the listener in getting beneath the surface
of these two beloved symphonies, revealing that however disparate
the expressive message, the language and style remain Beethoven's -
a symphonic voice as powerful in struggle and victory as in
relaxation and meditation."Magnum Opus" is a series for anyone
seeking a greater familiarity with the cornerstones of Western
Classical Music - operatic, choral and symphonic. Always
passionate, down-to-earth, and authoritative on the works and their
creators, "Magnum Opus" is an indispensable resource for anyone's
musical library and the perfect gift for the music-lover in your
life.
