Beethoven's Symphonies: An Artistic Vision by Lewis Lockwood

This is an excellent introduction to the genesis, structure, and meaning of some of the greatest symphonies ever written. I enjoyed the details that provided context for each work and connecting them to changes in Beethoven's musical approach.
