Beethoven: Political Artist in the Age of Revolution [Chinese]

By William Kinderman

Quite different from what many people usually think, Beethoven was never a pure musician. Just like Lu Xun, he was in a dramatic era, facing a series of political ups and downs: the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the Congress of Vienna. Like Lu Xun, Beethoven never wanted to "hide in a small building", but was actively involved in politics, and music was his weapon of choice.From a political perspective, this book describes how a fearless revolutionary, in an era of transition from modernity to modernity, where "breaking" and "building" coexisted, revolutionized the old and established the new, and committed himself to the establishment of a new order in politics and music. This is perhaps the reason why his music still has lasting power today.
