After a chapter on Beethoven’s harbingers, Teetgen works through the symphonies movement by movement, from the First, Op. 21, onward. He writes as a lover rather than an analyst, comparing the Larghetto of the Second to Schumann and Ernst and pouring out the images and feelings each passage stirs in him.
