A provocative and innovative study of Adorno's writings on Beethoven
Michael Spitzer is Reader in Music at Durham University, United Kingdom. He has written widely on aspects of music theory and semiotics and is author of Metaphor and Musical Thought.
[T]he aim of Michael Spitzer's new book is to explore Beethoven's
late style. To this end, he conceives a theory of musical style,
one that draws upon topics and issues related to the study of
musical meaning, and he frames this theory by means of ideas
borrowed from the writings of Theodor Adorno. [This] book will be
of interest to three kinds of music scholar: the Beethoven
specialist, the theorist of style, and lastly the scholar of
Adorno.31.2 Fall 2009
