Recenzje

Nancy November breaks open the discourse on fragmentation versus unity in Op. 131 with a new interpretive approach that focuses on the special relationship between work, performer, and audience, conceiving Beethoven's composition as a large-scale fantasy that requires sustained, attentive listening. With her thought-provoking view of Op. 131, November undoubtedly offers a welcome enrichment to research on Beethoven's late work.
