Szigeti, Joseph. (1892–1973) [Beethoven, Ludwig van. (1770–1827)] [Ed. Paul Rolland]
The Ten Beethoven Sonatas
Urbana, Illinois: American String Teachers Association. 1965. First edition. Hardcover, no dj (as issued). 8vo. 55 pp. 1968 gift inscription to inside front board, else clean throughout. A solid and attractive copy of a scarce book in which the great violinist shares his views and ideas on the Piano-Violin Sonatas of Beethoven. Rather than dissecting the music, Szigeti's analysis discusses the music in terms of human feelings and values, and offers an exceptional insight into Beethoven's life as it relates to the sonatas.
