Description: Beethoven and the Grosse Fuge : Music, Meaning, and Beethoven's Most Difficult Work, Paperback by Kahn, Robert S., ISBN 0810874180, ISBN-13 9780810874183, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book looks closely at both Beethoven and the Grosse Fuge, placing both in their historical and social contexts. It considers interesting questions about whether absolute music—music without words—can have meaning and speculates that some works of Western music can evoke synesthesia in listeners—a sense of motion through three-dimensional volumes of space. The author also speculates that Beethoven's long creative dry spell in his late 40s was caused by an extended bout with clinical depression.
