Description

J. S. Bach composed some of the best-loved and most moving music in Western culture. Surviving mostly in manuscript collections; his music also exists in special and unique publications that reveal much about his life and thoughts as a composer. In this book; Peter Williams; author of the acclaimed J. S. Bach: A Life in Music; revisits Bachs biography through the lens of his music. Reviewing all of Bachs music chronologically; Williams discusses the music collection by collection to reveal the development of Bachs interests and priorities. While a great deal has been written about the composers vocal works; Williams gives the keyboard music its proper emphasis; revealing it as crucial to Bachs biography; as a young organist and a mature composer; as a performer in public and teacher in private; and as a profound thinker in the language of music.
