Following the author's acclaimed biographical dictionaries on Schubert and Mozart, Peter Clive here examines Beethoven's relations with the multitude of persons who formed his circle: relatives, friends, acquaintances, librettists, poets, publishers, artists, patrons, and musicians. With over 450 entries, this volume is the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the subject currently available in any language. It will appeal to all music lovers, both the scholar and the non-specialist alike.
This is the first book of its kind on Schubert. It appears at a
time when scholarly and general interest in his life and
compositions is greater than ever, and its publication coincides
with the celebration of the bicentenary of Schubert's birth in
1797. The book opens with a chronicle of Schubert's life, which is
followed by more than 300 biographical entries offering information
not only on his friends and acquaintances, and on persons with whom
he was associated through his music (poets, librettists,
publishers, patrons, musicians), but also on a number of later
`Schubertians' who greatly advanced public appreciation and
scholarly examination of his music or made a particularly
significant contribution to our knowledge of his life. The book
thus adds a fuller context and perspective to the reader's view of
Schubert's activities, and indeed of the music itself.
