Book Synopsis
This is an interdisciplinary study of romantic pianism in relation to gender and sexuality. Confronting problems posed by keyboard players the author underscores the extent to which the piano resonates with intimations of both homosexuality and mortality.

Trade Review
"Beethoven's Kiss is a beguiling, insightful, sometimes funny, sometimes moving study. The book is put together performatively, as a memoir-meditation, rather than a piece of traditional scholarship. But its tacit scholarly backing is solid and up to date, and its unorthodox form is under the control of a finely tuned prose style."—Lawrence Kramer, Fordham University
