Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Enter the world of Johann Sebastian Bach through this illuminating collection of readings.

The New Bach Reader reveals the life and career of Bach through hundreds of letters, family papers, anecdotes, and records relating to his personal and professional life. The original Bach Reader, edited by the late Hans T. David and Arthur Mendel in 1945, established a new approach to biography by offering original documents in impeccable translations. In The New Bach Reader, Christoph Wolff of Harvard University has incorporated numerous facsimiles and added many newly discovered items. Taken together, the readings in this volume provide music lovers with a fascinating, almost firsthand account of the composer and his environment.
