“That Beethoven was capable of producing the ultimate musical definition of heroism in this context is itself extraordinary, for he was able to evoke a dream of heroism that neither he nor his native Germany nor his adopted Vienna could express in reality. Perhaps we can only measure the heroism of the Eroica by the depth of fear and uncertainty from with it emerged.”
Maynard Solomon

“There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.”
Maynard Solomon, Mozart: A Life

“Biography is often a transparent contest for possession.”
Maynard Solomon, Mozart
