Beethoven Piano Sonatas Op 109 110
This book brings together music and visual arts, particularly the art of landscape gardening, in the context of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century English and German culture. The aesthetic of the picturesque, derived from the controlled wilderness of the landscape garden, provided writers on music with a language in which to describe the musical genre of the free fantasia, and the picturesque emerges here as a critical means for understanding the fantastical constituents in the music of C. P. E. Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven.

| Review”…a highly stimulating piece of music criticism. No one mesmerized in the history of the interrelation amidst music and art, in music aesthetics, style history, or in instrumental music amid 1750 and 1820 will have to skip this book…it is a compelling paradigm that profoundly challenges and stimulates the ways we talk and write when it comes to our musical experiences.” 19th-Century Music
“…impressive…Richards has done a fine job…” Catholic Library World
“Annette Richards has crafted a book that captures the essence of her subject by adroitly leading the reader through paths that take surpising turns…many terrifi revelations lie in front as altho one was carrying out or participate in a path through those English gardens that she eloquently describes through the eyes of contemporaries of the time.” The Wordsworth Circle
