Criticism

Pianist and musicologist Charles Rosen rebuttedBeethoven and the Construction of Genius in an article "Did

Beethoven Have All the Luck?" in which he challenges DeNora's assumptions by insisting that we do indeed

know many if not most of the works of Beethoven's contemporaries; that many have been analyzed, revived and

recorded; and that they do not approach Beethoven's originality, breadth of thought, or structural

sophistication.[2]
