Summary

The Seven Concertos of Beethoven by Antony Hopkins challenges the common tendency to focus on performers rather than the music itself.

Hopkins offers detailed insights into Beethoven's seven concertos: piano concertos numbers 1 through 5, the Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61, and the Triple Concerto, Op. 56.

Description

First published in 1996, this volume counters the attitude of paying more attention to the performer than to the piece. Too often, Antony Hopkins argues, music is simply regarded as a pleasant background noise to accompany our other activities, whereas Beethoven offers much more than that.

The Seven Concertos of Beethoven aims to promote hearing, rather than listening. Hopkins examines Beethoven’s piano concertos numbers 1 through 5, along with the violin concerto in D Major, Op. 61, and the Triple Concerto, Op. 56.
