Beethoven's symphonies captured the public imagination from the outset and remain compelling today. Revolutionary in their time, these life-enhancing works now sit at the centre of the classical music repertoire, retaining their ability to delight and inspire. The career of Sir George Grove (1820-1900) ranged from civil engineering to biblical scholarship, but he is best known for editing his celebrated Dictionary of Music and Musicians. A driving force at the heart of nineteenth-century British musical life, Grove organised important concerts at the rebuilt Crystal Palace in Sydenham, and he served as the first director of the Royal College of Music from 1883 to 1894. First published in 1896, and reissued here in its swiftly corrected and indexed second edition, this work is a classic of musical analysis, exploring the composition, structure, performance and reception of each symphony in turn. Intended for 'the amateurs of this country', it represents the culmination of a lifetime's research.

"Dieses Buch von Sir Georg Grove ist, laut seinem Herausgeber Max Hehemann, "das Werk eines glühenden Verehrers der Schöpfung unseres größten Symphonikers, der in längjähriger Arbeit die Früchte eines reichen Wissens in diesem Buch erschloss. Was ihm irgend von Bedeutung schien zur Kenntnis der Tondichtung Beethovens und des Menschen, der sie geschaffen, hat er liebvoll zusammengetragen. Und so sind denn diese Blätter nicht nur zu Trägern von musikalischen Analysen geworden, sondern auch zu Führern in die Innenwelt und das äußere Leben des Meisters."Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahre 1906."

This book describes the journey of Novello & Co., the influential Victorian music publisher, from a 'simple parlor shop' to 'the germ of the mart for supplying England' with cheap music. Established in 1811, Novello can be credited with several successful initiatives to foster a popular love for music.
