This is an interdisciplinary study of romantic pianism in relation to gender and sexuality. Confronting problems posed by keyboard players the author underscores the extent to which the piano resonates with intimations of both homosexuality and mortality.
In Beethoven's Kiss, Kevin Kopelson takes you on a journey through a unique literary style which is both scholarly and meditative. It interweaves the issues of gender, sexuality and erotic romanticism and presents them against the backdrop of romantic pianism. Exploring quasi-sexual myths of the nineteenth century, Beethoven's Kiss takes a long look at the origin and consequences of those myths.
