Title: Beethoven: Down the Garden Path....Again
Review: One would think a revised edition would correct the errors of the past, but here is an exception. Most of the mistranslations, misinformation, and inaccuracies of the original book have been carried over into this version. Although soundly criticized by mainly European scholars, this book continues to dazzle American academicians who have never bothered to double-check the primary source material from which quotes have been taken. Truncated quotes, misquotes, and half-truths support theories which the information in original form would have easily shown as false. The psychoanalyses included are ludicrous and often based on misrepresentations of facts. A strong caveat to all readers.
