J. S. Bach

Absolutely essential reading for musicians. Full of important knowledge which I have never found anywhere else. Very dense; I use it mostly for reference.

Good read!

Thank you. Great Book!

The photograph on the cover is a little odd. It is a railroad receding into the distance. You aren't sure at first glance whether it only seems to peter out as a trick of perspective, but if you look closely you'll see it really does peter out in the middle distance, next to the grain elevator.What does that have to do with Bach? There's a reference to the sudden end of certain "American high roads" in a footnote in the middle of the text, but that isn't specifically about railroads so I'm not at all sure that justified the photograph.That's a minor mystery. What is more important: this book is itself a historical document, and gives us insight into two of history's great minds, the writer as well as the subject.

Fantastic…! The most complete book about all the subjects of Bach….!
