This timeless collection contains selections attributed to J. S. Bach; his son C.P.E. Bach; and others. Generations of students have studied the volumes ""Menuet in G Major;"" ""Musette in D Major"" and the ""Prelude in C Major"" from the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Dr. Palmer provides the texts to the instrumental settings of chorales and arias found in this work; as well as a brief biography of the Bach family.

Deep. scholarly treatment. not for the casual readerBy Jon HerahznMr. Spencer is clearly quite expert in this area. and he treats the material with enough examples. anecdotes and case studies that you just know hes been "around the block" on the variety of issues he covers. This is not a book for the casual reader. If you are interestsed in reading and learning a little about art fakes. I suggest Thomas Hovings work. Spencers work targets curators. lawyers and museum directors - or. like myself. someone immersed in the fine art business. I found it well written. sometimes a little inaccessible. but overall an excellent treatment of the subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Vintagefan3very great and fast shipping A++++ Thank you so much!!11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. The man who mistook his wife for a de KooningBy Nadine GranoffThe purpose of this book is not to entertain the general public; it is shop-talk for a certain portion of the art world--the art trade and museums. The essays are uniformly competent and written in a lively. digestible fashion. Some essays are digressive. others terse. all are useful if youre trying to think through an authentication.
