5.0 out of 5 stars
Fine biography of Bach's life and music,
By
This review is from: Johann Sebastian Bach: The Culmination of An Era (Hardcover)
Karl Geiringer wrote compelling and informative biographies that are concise yet musically mature and insightful. This book is divided into two parts. The first third of the book (106 pages) is a narrative of Bach's life. Part II has a short essay on Bach's musical heritage that describes the musical resources and forms that were in force in Bach's time.
Part III discusses the great composer's music by type rather than in chronological order. This helps us compare the various compositions in each genre and see the compositional choices Bach made and how he developed as a composer. This is a fine book for the general reader, student, or professional musician. |
