Beethoven's Symphonies Critically Discussed by Alexander Teetgen
"Beethoven's Symphonies Critically Discussed" by Alexander Teetgen is a scholarly publication written during the late 19th century. This work provides an analytical examination of Beethoven's symphonies, delving into their musical structure and emotional depth, with high regard for the composer's genius. The text aims to illuminate both Beethoven's innovative techniques and the broader implications of his music within the context of artistic expression. The opening of the work features a preface thatsets the stage for a series of essays previously published in "The Musical Standard." The preface reflects on the nature of music as a profound language of the soul and emphasizes the challenges in fully explaining Beethoven's artistry. Teetgen's intention to analyze Beethoven's symphonies is expressed with both reverence and respect, as he acknowledges the delicate balance between understanding and experiencing the music. The discussion hints at a critical appreciation that will explore Beethoven's influences, the characteristics of his early works, and eventually the unique qualities that distinguish his contributions from his predecessors such as Haydn and Mozart.
