Sonata Mulattica: Poems Rita Dove (University of Virginia)

The son of a white woman and an African Prince, George Polgreen Bridgetower (17801860) travels to Vienna to meet bad-boy genius Ludwig van Beethoven. The great composers subsequent sonata is originally dedicated to the young mulatto, but George, exuberant with acclaim, offends Beethoven over a woman. From this crucial encounter evolves a grandiose yet melancholy poetic tale. A New Yorker's A Year's Reading; Booklist Editors Choice Award.

Sonata Mulattica Bewertungen

"A virtuosic treatment of a virtuoso's life ... stuffed with historical and musical arcana." "Dove's richly imagined book has the sweep and vivid characters of a novel, but it's written with a poet's economy, an eye for the exact detail." -- Mark Doty
