Glossary

The glossary explains specialist musical and iconographical terms, which cannot always be avoided in a text.

The definitions are intentionally not of a general nature but refer in many cases to the word's usage in a Beethoven context. They do not aim to be complete in the manner of encyclopaedic entries, and cannot replace them. More detailed and comprehensive information can be found in music dictionaries and encylopaedias.
