DETAILS: worn but still quite good dust-jacket, frayed around edges and corners, cover price $7.50, very good orange to peach cloth, slightest skew from reading. KNIGHT, FRIDA. Beethoven and the age of revolution. New York: International Publishers, 1973, "United States Edition 1973", 206pp., . Printed in the United Kingdom. - English communist and activist who studied violin in Germany in 1928; visited the Soviet Union, and active in Spain; was arrested and imprisoned in France. Quite a life. - Flap text: So many books have been written about Beethoven that it may well seem presumptuous to add to them. Yet there have so far been lacking any that look at Beethoven and his work specifically in the context of the social and political events of the very stirring times in which he lived. When one looks back at the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the intervals of uneasy peace, the post-war economic crises of that epoch, it is hard not to feel that these must have considerably influenced Beethoven's work. When one studies his life and music with this in mind, the historical and social influences take on an importance which has perhaps not been sufficiently recognised. A close study of Beethoven's work, letters, notebooks and conversations reveals his feelings about people and about life around him. It also shows his abiding and lively interest in politics and social and economic questions. This interest sprang from his deeply generous and independent character; it was reflected in his correspondence and his talk, and expressed in his greatest music. How did his concern with the human condition, in an age of Revolution, affect his life and creativity? This book is an attempt to find out, and so to provide some new angles, a fresh approach and even more future pleasure for the listener to Beethoven's music.
