OverviewManchester Beethoven studies presents ten original chapters by scholars with close ties to the University of Manchester. It throws new light on many aspects of Beethoven's life and works, with a special emphasis on early or little-known compositions such as his concert aria Erste Liebe, his String Quintet Op. 104 and his folksong settings. Biographical elements are prominent in a wide-ranging reassessment of his religious attitudes and beliefs, while Charles Hall, founder of the Manchester-based Hall Orchestra, is revealed to have been a tireless and energetic promoter of Beethoven's music in the later nineteenth century.
