About "The Beethoven Enneagram"

 
Ed Jacobs & Mona Coates:

An exciting and stimulating treat to have Enneagram expertise wedded with the timeless and incomparable sounds of Beethoven. This CD is a genuine auditory treasure. Get it!

Eddie Jacobs' review from the Enneagram Monthly:

The year is 1824 and it is a beautiful morning in Vienna. As you walk down the street on your way to the corner market, you see ahead a somewhat undersized and awkwardly built man with broad shoulders walking toward you, head down, carrying a writing journal under his arm. He is a bit disheveled, his clothes rather shabby and his general appearance a little scary. Just as you take a step to cross the street to avoid this character, he lifts his head and you see his face. With his dark complexion, bushy eyebrows, pockmarked skin, misshapen facial features, and frowning countenance, he looks unhappy and distant. Instantly you recognize this man and continue past him...

Clink Thompson's review from The Electric Enneagram Newsletter:

My own belief in the alliance of pleasure and learning was refreshed and strengthened when I obtained a copy of Elizabeth Wagele's Beethoven Enneagram.Only a few teaching aids exist that develop and explain the non-verbal aspects of the enneagram style. This is a marvelous teaching tool because it helps those who do not learn best through concepts and words

Anne Kirby:

I thank Elizabeth from the bottom of my heart for opening up the world of Beethoven's music for me. That she combines it with my favorite subject, the Enneagram, is a great gift. Also, my husband, who says he couldn't survive without music, is finally fascinated by the Enneagram.

Marian Sruh Weisberg:

What a creative and unusual way to p resent the Enneagram! I enjoyed it enormously! I like the light but meaningful style of her presentation. The quality of Elizabeth's playing is so wonderful. My mother was a concert pianist so I know when I hear a good performance.
I'm a Seven and I recognized that slightly uncomfortable raced-up feeling in the music she selected to describe my type. I was especially amused by the chase.

Andrea Isaacs and Jack Labanauskas:

 The stirring notes of Beethoven's profoundly beautiful passages and the profound truths expressed through the Enneagram are a perfect match. The utterly charming performance by Liz Wagele makes learning about both a pleasure.

 The Enneagram is to the field of psychology and understanding personality what Beethoven was to music--innovative, substantive, and designed to withstand time. Liz brings new life and personality to Beethoven's music with helpful and charming thumbnail sketches of each of the Enneagram types .

Jeff McKay:

I marvel at Elizabeth's Observer: the accuracy is remarkable.

Ann Del Tredici:

 The Beethoven Enneagram is a lovely combination of music, Enneagram, personalities, Elizabeth's presence, Beethoven history and insight.... A lot of people would like listening to it for a lot of different reasons.

Ann Woodward:

 This was the first time in my musical life that I could actually hear isolated themes or motives in Beethoven's music and appreciate them.

Thomas J. Hamilton:

 After hearing The Beethoven Enneagram, I now have most of my Christmas gifts decided.

Mary Porter-Chase:

I came home and settled on the couch for a return engagement with The Beethoven Enneagram. I enjoyed it even more being relaxed and comfortable than I did at your concert in Denver.

Let me count the ways.
-The sound reproduction is excellent on our Bose.
-Your technical skill and artistic sensitivity are awesome.
-Your spoken voice is gentle, pleasant and confident.
-Your choices of information regarding the Enneagram and your choices and interpretations of Beethoven's sonatas are masterful and creative.
-The way in which you wove it all together felt so relaxed, easy and interesting.
Well done, my friend. You and Beethoven have a winner!
