The book delves into Beethoven's innovative use of chords and harmonic theory, presenting a fresh perspective on tonal systems. Its introductory chapters mimic a nineteenth-century Harmonielehre, featuring accessible block-chord examples from Beethoven's piano sonatas. The subsequent masterworks section provides in-depth analyses of movements from his symphonies, sonatas, and quartets, comparing findings with notable analysts. By integrating eighteenth and nineteenth-century practices with Schenkerian principles, it challenges traditional harmonic analysis and redefines musical processes.
