"Written in polished, clear prose, this book will appeal to those who decide to learn more about Beethoven. Recommended. General readers." – M. N.H. Cheng,
CHOICE"Bonds recognizes Beethoven's remarkable aptitude for challenging the listener through mastery of variation, malleability of perspective and extremity of feeling, frequently capturing aspects of the human condition. Hence, Bonds maintains the listener is rewarded with an always revelatory reminder of the power of music." – Samuel I. Grosby,
