New Solomon book

[terry]

HERE I AM AGAIN! THANK YOU CHRIS! (I only have to change my pword, I'll try in a second time)
In Italian a new book on Beethoven, by our friend Solomon. The Italian title (I think the same in English) "The last Beethoven" analyses his last works aesthetically using his diary.
Thanks to L. perhaps our friend has bought a new house. Well, if B. hasn't succeeded in getting rich when alive, he has made rich others!

No sorry, but someone who read it told me that it is quite different from the famous previous ones, not freudian-junghian anymore but from an aesthetic point of view, analyzing the last works and connecting them to the diary.
It seems to be a good work.
Strange you all don't seem to know it, possibly in America was edited far earlier than here...

Terry, it sounds like you may be referring to Solomon's, "Late Beethoven: Music, Thought, Imagination"?

Yes, I presume it is the original title. Did you read it? Nice to hear from you Preston. I was away from the forum because I had some problems with my password and connections, but I've always follewe you.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be deliberately obtuse. "The Beggar's Opera" is a ballad opera written by John Gay and the theatre manager at the time was John Rich, who made lots of money from the performances!!

I have only read parts of it, and that has been a while. Thanks Terry, good to hear from you.

I only have heard about Beggar, I just knew it was an opera, btw even an opera should be read first...as it was a novel.
