Beethoven, et al. Are any a particularly good mix of life history and music theory? I know I should post this on ILBooks, but I feel like putting it here.

The Romantic Generation
~Charles Rosen

The Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
~Charles Rosen

The Master musicians/New Grove series are great too.

I wish I could help you. Everything I learned about classical composers I learned from surfing the web coz I can't remember a damn thing from school. Maybe I should pick one of these up. I would have reccomended asking on I Love Music, but my technical questions about symphonies fell pretty flat there.
