Adolf Bernhard Marx was one of the most influential music theorists of the 19th century, and this biography remains a cornerstone of Beethoven studies. Despite the heavy wear and library markings, it remains a vital primary source for those studying the evolution of music theory and the early reception of Beethoven’s œuvre.
