The widely held belief that Beethoven was a rough pianist,
impatient with his instruments, is not altogether accurate: it is
influenced by anecdotes dating from when deafness had begun to
impair his playing. Presenting a new, detailed biography of
Beethoven's formative years, this book reviews the composer's early
career, outlining how he was influenced by teachers, theorists and
instruments. Skowroneck describes the development and decline of
Beethoven's pianism, and pays special attention to early pianos,
their construction and their importance for Beethoven and the
modern pianist. The book also includes new discussions of legato
and Beethoven's trills, and a complete annotated review of
eyewitnesses' reports about his playing. Skowroneck presents a
revised picture of Beethoven which traces his development from an
impetuous young musician into a virtuoso in command of many musical
resources.
