It considers interesting questions about whether absolute music-music without words-can have meaning and speculates that some works of Western music can evoke synesthesia in listeners-a sense of motion through three-dimensional volumes of space. The author also speculates that Beethoven's long creative dry spell in his late 40s was caused by an extended bout with clinical depression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46882933080215,"sku":"9780810874183","price":8240.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780810874183.webp?v=1770237139","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beethoven-and-the-grosse-fuge-music-meaning-and-beethovens-most-difficult-work-9780810874183","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
