![]() ![]() ![]() I have had a long interest in Nietzsche and a substantially longer interest in Beethoven. An earlier book written with his wife Denise Von Glahn studies the relatively unknown American modernist composer Leo Ornstein. Broyles has written extensively on music in the United States. The author, Michael Broyles, is Professor of Music at Florida State University and a former Distinguished Professor of Music and Professor of American History at Penn State University. The second book, "Beethoven in America" which I am reviewing here, discusses the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) and his reception in the United States over the course of more than 200 years. The first book by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen is "American Nietzsche: A History of an Icon and his Ideas". I have read two recent books which explore the impact of two important German figures on the cultural history of the United States. ![]()
