beethoven by lewis-lockwood

Focused more on Beethoven's musical progression than his life biography, so if you don't know much about music got might not enjoy it as much. As such, he emphasizes Beethoven's influences far more than others - Mozart, Haydn, Bach and even Handel. Great analysis of the Ninth too.

Beethoven's Symphonies: An Artistic Vision by Lewis Lockwood

This is an excellent introduction to the genesis, structure, and meaning of some of the greatest symphonies ever written. I enjoyed the details that provided context for each work and connecting them to changes in Beethoven's musical approach.
