Good book; but Kindle edition does not begin at beginningBy Olivia ShafferWhen I first opened this book; it began with symphony number 1 of Beethoven. And "go to beginning of book" in the index menu brings me to the same point. No introduction; table of contents; or introduction to Beethoven. I didnt know how to go to another symphony without paging through the whole book (search did not work very well).However; as I eventually discovered; if you press "previous page" at the beginning; you get the prior missing parts of the book. And "Table of Contents" in the index takes you to the Table of Contents; which is selectable so you can go right to the symphony you want.Once I figured out how to use the book I was pleased with it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Must read for any music major or enthusiastBy NatalieOne of the only books Ive kept since graduation. Very interesting to read - and easy to "skim" if necessary. Details are fascinating and references arent too hard to understand for someone with less musical knowledge. I still remember some wonderful passages about Beethovens 6th that I flagged to read again. Overall: A+0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is a classic book by one of the best music critics -- everBy S. V. Pollack (shepsl)This is a classic book by one of the best music critics -- ever. If youre a symphony fan; or want to be; this is the one book you should have.
