Mark Ferraguto

Praise for Beethoven 1806:

 

"Ferraguto's work adds valuable nuance to our thinking about the composer, offering a compelling demonstration of the rewards of putting individual works into dialogue with the multifarious strands of the cultural and societal webs into which they are woven."

​

–Michael Tusa, Journal of the American Musicological Society

​

“This knowledgeably researched book opens up to the historian a world animated by cosmopolitan ideals, a world which becomes tangible to the reader precisely through the analysis of works and their associated musical practices.”

 

–Axel Körner, Historische Zeitschrift

​

“Ferraguto is able to introduce complex ideas and issues with remarkable clarity and concision, making this book particularly friendly for undergraduates and strangers to Beethoven scholarship.”

 

–Christopher Parton, Eighteenth-Century Music

 

“Mark Ferraguto brings to his work much learning and thought– along with devotion and persuasiveness. Look through the microscope with him to see more finely into Beethoven's immortal works.”

 

–John Check, The New Criterion
