The seven concertos of Beethoven

A companion volume to the reprint of The Nine Symphonies of Beethoven, this book is a lucid but non-technical analysis written in the author's characteristically accessible style. Composer, conductor and pianist himself, Antony Hopkins is uniquely placed to share with the reader his view of these works. A general introduction precedes this detailed study which, with its many musical examples, provides a welcome and refreshing exploration of seven of Beethoven's finest and best-loved compositions.
