"Reading "The Beethoven Quartet Companion made me want to listen to
the quartets again from a new sociological as well as musical
perspective. It is an invaluable guide not only for professional
and amateur musicians but also for anyone who is curious about
culture and wants to find out more."--Yo-Yo Ma
"These essays are the most readable, useful, and well-informed
commentary available today on these masterworks. Michael
Steinberg's 'program notes' to each quartet, directed at once to
the musical beginner and to the expert, are as eloquent and
persuasive as popular writing about music can get. . . . His essays
are followed by equally expert and accessible contributions by
other masters on The Master, providing literate music lovers with
the context and equipment for a richer enjoyment and clearer
understanding of these sixteen unique conversations among two
violins, a viola, and a cello."--David Littlejohn, author of "The
Ultimate Art: Essays Around and About Opera
"A fine collection of essays to assist the music lover in the
seemingly endless quest to illuminate the Beethoven string
quartets."--Arnold Steinhardt, The Guarneri String Quartet
"This book delivers on the implied promise of its title--it
provides a lively, readable, and wide-ranging introduction to the
quartets. Readers at many levels of experience will find it
profitable."--Lewis Lockwood, author of "Beethoven: Studies in the
Creative Process
