Manchester Beethoven studies presents ten original chapters by scholars with close ties to the University of Manchester. It throws new light on many aspects of Beethoven's life and works, with a special emphasis on early or little-known compositions such as his concert aria Erste Liebe, his String Quintet Op. 104 and his folksong settings. Biographical elements are prominent in a wide-ranging reassessment of his religious attitudes and beliefs, while Charles Hall, founder of the Manchester-based Hall Orchestra, is revealed to have been a tireless and energetic promoter of Beethoven's music in the later nineteenth century.

Reviews for Manchester Beethoven Studies

'The index provides the unifying glue and a belvedere from which to reach into the entrails of this very diverse assemblage of Beethoven scholarship that rotates like satellites around the central reference point that is Manchester.' Rob Barnett, Music Web International -- .
