In his previous book, The Progressive Beatles, Scott Robinson asserted that without the Beatles, there would have been no Yes, no ELP, no Genesis, no King Crimson - no progressive rock genre. In this new work, Robinson argues that without Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and other classical influences, there would have been no Beatles - or at least not the Beatles as we know them.

Those and other classical influences deeply pervade the canon of the Fab Four, and they went out of their way to leverage those influences to the fullest. Aided by their well-schooled producer George Martin, they infused their music with the passions, complexities, nuance and brilliance of the greatest composers of the past few centuries. This volume explores the classical features of the Beatles' music in depth, demonstrating in a new way that they stand above all their peers as the greatest musical innovators of the 20th century.
