I am unqualified to write a review of this highly acclaimed book, because I
am neither a musicologist nor a student of music.
If you have training in music, please ignore this review. I give it 5 stars
merely because it is highly acclaimed.
I'm writing this mostly because it is not mentioned here on Amazon, or
elsewhere, what the book consists of, and whether "casual listeners" can
read it. The answer is "no".

I purchased this book because I love the late quartets intensely, and I was
looking for something that would be a pleasure to read, and something that
might deepen my understanding of the quartets (especially the late quartets).
I found that I could not comprehend more than a few sentences in the entire
book. Almost nothing is said about the non-musicological aspects of the
quartets; nothing that evokes wonder or inerest - for the casual listener,
of course. Although I would not use the word "casual" to describe myself as
a listener - I've been listening to the quartets for more than a decade now,
and find something new every time - it remains that without formal training
, this book is entirely incomprehensible. It is a series of technical
analyses, and might as well have been written in Japanese as far as I am
concerned.
If you're like me - someone who loves the quartets but does not have a
formal grounding in music - this book is not for you. Read Sullivan's "
Beethoven" if you haven't read it already. | E*******r
