Recenzii
"This book fills a great gap in our understanding both of Beethoven and of American culture. The panorama of this narrative encompasses antebellum rice plantations in South Carolina and the film studios of Hollywood, music critic John Dwight and rock star Chuck Berry, Theosophy and Black Power, Beethoven's sketches, and YouTube videos." Christopher Reynolds, University of California, Davis
The racial politics of Beethoven boils down to those who believd he really was black, and writers, like Amiri Baraka, who were playing a more symbolic game to claim Beethoven was to claim that everything white Europeans say about tradition, from Bach to Schoenberg, was a calculated, self-serving lie. With the alleged death of ideology in the new millennium, Broyles concludes that the sting has largely gone out of racial and feminist perspective. Beethoven is many things: a cartoon dog, or the obvious figure for sound artist Leif Inge to work on, stretching his Ninth Symphony electronically over 24 hours as 9 Beet Stretch, because his familiarity means our culture now needs reminders of his materiality. The question, circa 2012, is how to protect Beethoven from himself. - Philip Clark, The Wire, September 2012
"The value of this thought-provoking book lies not in insightful interpretations into Beethoven and his music but in its look at US cultural history through the wide Beethovenian lens. ... Recommended." Choice, October 2012
