Bach's musical universe : the composer and his work / by Wolff, Christoph,author.(CARDINAL)515294;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 347-369) and index."A comprehensive and fascinating study of the overall creative output of Johann Sebastian Bach, capturing the essence of his art. In this companion volume to his Pulitzer Prize-finalist biography, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician, leading Bach scholar Christoph Wolff contextualizes his famous subject by delving deeply into the composer's rich collection of music. Emerging from this complex and massive oeuvre, Bach's Musical Universe is a focused discussion of a meaningful selection of compositions- from the famous Well-Tempered Clavier, violin and cello solos, and Brandenburg Concertos to the St. Matthew Passion, Art of Fugue, and B- Minor Mass. Unlike any study undertaken before, this book details Bach's creative process across the various instrumental and vocal genres, and centers on what the composer himself judiciously presented in carefully designed benchmark collections and individual works- all consequential to Bach's musical art. Tracing Bach's evolution as a composer, Wolff compellingly illuminates the ideals and legacy of this giant of classical music in a new, refreshing light for everyone, from the amateur to the virtuoso"--Prologue: on the primacy and pervasiveness of polyphony -- Revealing the narrative of a musical universe -- Transformative approaches to composition and performance -- In search of the autonomous instrumental design -- The most ambitious of all projects -- Proclaiming the state of the art in keyboard music -- A grand liturgical Messiah cycle -- In critical survey and review mode -- Instrumental and vocal polyphony at its peak art of fugue and B-minor Mass -- Epilogue: "Praxis cum theoria".
