Before Bach. A master teacher revealed: Johann Pachelbel's Deutliche Anweisung / Bach's vocal music. Combinatorial modeling in the chorus movement of Cantata 24, Ein ungefärbt Gemüte / Bach circle. Johann Friedrich Schweinitz, "a disciple of the famous Herr Bach in Leipzig" / Bach's instrumental music. Scribes, engravers, and notational styles: the final disposition of Bach's Art of fugue / After Bach. Carl Reinecke's performance of Mozart's Larghetto and the nineteenth-century practice of quantitative accentuation / Kathryn Welter ; From the house of Aaron to the house of Johann Sebastian: Old Testament roots for the Bach family tree / Mary Dalton Greer -- Alexander J. Fisher ; Choral unison in J.S. Bach's vocal music / Daniel R. Melamed ; You say sabachthani and I say asabthani: a St. Matthew passion puzzle / Michael Ochs ; Sein Segen fliesst daher wie ein Strom, BWV Anh. I 14: a source for parodied arias in the B-minor mass? / William H. Scheide -- Hans-Joachim Schulze ; Johann Christian Bach and the church symphony / Jen-Yen Chen -- Gregory G. Butler ; Notes on J. S. Bach and basso continuo realization / Ton Koopman ; Music for "Cavaliers et dames": Bach and the repertoire of his collegium musicum / Geogre B. Stauffer ; A print of Clavierbung I from J.S. Bach's personal library / Andrew Talle -- Robert Hill ; "Grand miscellaneous acts": observations on oratorio performance in London after Hayden / Mark Risinger ; Back from B-A-C-H: Schumann's Symphony numbers 2 in C major / Douglass Seaton.
That Johann Sebastian Bach is a pivotal figure in the history of Western music is hardly news, and the magnitude of his achievement is so immense that it can be difficult to grasp. In About Bach, fifteen scholars show that Bach's importance extends from choral to orchestral music, from sacred music to musical parodies, and also to his scribes and students, his predecessors and successors. Further, the contributors demonstrate a diversity of musicological approaches, ranging from close studies of Bach's choices of musical form and libretto to wider analyses of the historical and cultural backgrounds that impinged upon his creations and their lasting influence. --From publisher's description.
