Beschreibung

In 'The Life of Ludwig van Beethoven,' Alexander Wheelock Thayer masterfully chronicles the life and times of one of classical music's most influential composers, Ludwig van Beethoven. Over three meticulously researched volumes, Thayer employs a biographical approach enriched with textual analysis, weaving historical context with personal anecdotes. His work stands as a monumental contribution to musicology, showcasing Beethoven'Äôs evolution as an artist against the backdrop of the social and political changes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, while maintaining a narrative style that balances scholarly rigor with engaging storytelling. Thayer, an American musicologist and biographer, dedicated much of his life to studying Beethoven, driven by an enduring passion for music and its historical significance. His profound admiration for Beethoven's genius prompted Thayer to travel extensively throughout Europe, collecting first-hand accounts, artifacts, and archival materials that enliven his portrayal of the composer. This scholarly pursuit was not only a testament to his love for Beethoven but also an essential endeavor to preserve the legacy of a revolutionary figure in Western music. For readers who seek a comprehensive understanding of Beethoven'Äôs life journey and artistic legacy, Thayer's work is indispensable. This authoritative biography offers not only insights into the composer'Äôs struggles and triumphs but also places his music within the broader tapestry of historical events. Ideal for both music enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Life of Ludwig van Beethoven' is an enriching exploration of a prodigious talent whose influence resonates even today.

    Jerry Portnoy grew up in Chicago hearing the blues being played outside his father's rug store on famed Maxwell Street during the late 1940s and early '50s. After dropping out of college, he became immersed in the colorful world of pool hustlers as he managed the largest pool hall in Chicago. During a stint as a paratrooper early in the Vietnam war, he applied for discharge as a conscientious objector, and lived in San Francisco during 1967's "summer of love." While bumming around Europe the following year, Portnoy heard the blues again on a record by Sonny Boy Williamson and became obsessed with mastering blues harmonica.He returned to Chicago and in 1974 he was playing in small Black clubs at night when Muddy Waters plucked him from his day job at Cook County Jail to fill the harmonica chair in his fabled band. Eric Clapton followed suit in 1991. In a career that took him from ghetto taverns to the White House and the Royal Albert Hall, he went from the raggedy vans and cheap roadside motels of the blues world to the private jets and five-star hotels of the rock world. Between those two very different gigs was a struggle to survive the vagaries of the music business and the pressures of life on the road. In a remarkable life, he also assisted in surgery, lodged in a Moroccan house of ill repute, and dined at Giorgio Armani's.
