Johann Sebastian Bach
Although we have heard the music of J. S. As we mark the 250th anniversary of Bach's death, author Christoph Wolff presents a new picture that brings to life this towering figure of the Baroque era. Bach in countless performances and recordings, the composer himself still comes across only as an enigmatic figure in a single familiar portrait.
Wolff demonstrates the intimate connection between the composer's life and his music, showing how Bach's superb inventiveness pervaded his career as musician, composer, performer, scholar, and teacher. This engaging new biography portrays Bach as the living, breathing, and sometimes imperfect human being that he was, while bringing to bear all the advances of the last half-century of Bach scholarship. And throughout, we see Bach in the broader context of his time: its institutions, traditions, and influences.
