In his previous book, The Progressive Beatles , Scott Robinson asserted that without the Beatles, there would have been no Yes, no ELP, no Genesis, no King Crimson - no progressive rock genre. In this new work, Robinson argues that without Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and other classical influences, there would have been no Beatles - or at least not the Beatles as we know them. Those and other classical influences deeply pervade the canon of the Fab Four, and they went out of their way to leverage those influences to the fullest.
