5.0 out of 5 stars Bach As Organist review, February 27, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: J. S. Bach as Organist: His Instruments, Music, and Performance Practices (Paperback)

Superb book. I have it in hardcover as well, and it is a great tool in preparing music, as well as preparing for class. It is written in such a style that the music professional is satisfied and the average music lover can move up a notch or two.
