More about the book

Focusing on the impact of Beethoven's symphonies, this book delves into how five prominent composers—Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Mahler—responded to his formidable legacy. Through their struggles to both emulate and surpass Beethoven, the narrative sheds light on the evolution of the symphony and the profound influence Beethoven had on the musical landscape of the nineteenth century. The exploration deepens our appreciation of each composer's unique contributions in the shadow of this towering figure.
