This is an auction for BEETHOVEN by Joseph Kerman & Alan Tyson.

Amazon.com review:

"The New Grove Beethoven is a printed version of an article by well-respected musicologists Joseph Kerman and Alan Tyson that was in the 1980 edition of the 'New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians', the standard English-language reference work for classical music. Much as been written about Beethoven (and a few new sources discovered) in the 32 years since its issuance, but it is still valuable. Unlike the two standard 500-page biographies by Maynard Solomon (1998) and Lewis Lockwood (2003), it sticks to the facts and keeps speculation to a minimum, so it a much shorter and easier read if that's all you need. I compared it to the current Grove Music Online article on Beethoven and found that much of the text is still current, although important new discoveries have been added to the online version by Scott Burnham."
