"Maynard Solomon writes with an unrivaled control of a vast cultural and intellectual sweep that reaches beyond Ancient Greece, and with a graceful precision that disguises the rich complexity of his ideas. Distilling from the late works their sources in both the overarching themes of mankind and the troubled psyche of the composer, he has forever altered a familiar landscape."--Richard Kramer, Distinguished Professor, Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and author of "Distant Cycles: Schubert and the Conceiving of Song" "With a bow to the immortal study by J.W.N. Sullivan, "Late Beethoven" could have also been called "Beethoven: His Spiritual Development." Solomon weaves amazingly diverse threads, chapter by chapter, into the fabric of Beethoven's belief system, his take on nature, divinity, human purpose, morality, and the mission of music. This is a book of surprises by an author whose combination of breadth of thought, imaginativeness, aesthetic sensitivity, and learning is really wonderful.--Joseph Kerman, author, with Alan Tyson, of "The New Grove Beethoven"
