Beethoven: A Political Artist in Revolutionary Times

This book unveils the role of politics in Beethoven's oeuvre, elucidating how the inherently political nature of Beethoven’s music explains its power and endurance.

The composer lived through many tumultuous events-the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Congress of Vienna among them. Previous studies of Beethoven have emphasized the importance of his personal suffering and inner struggles; Kinderman instead establishes that musical tensions in works such as the Eroica, the Appassionata, and his final piano sonata in C minor reflect Beethoven’s attitudes toward the political turbulence of the era.
