From The Ruins of Enlightenment : Beethoven and Schubert In Their Solitude.

Kramer looks at Beethoven and Schubert in 1815, the year that an international congress redrew European national boundaries in Vienna. He examines Schubert as a young man straining against Beethoven's influence, and Beethoven fighting himself in a midlife crisis. With a preamble, list of works cited, and index. Tables, music examples, and figures.
