Bach Summary
Bach Reviews
The author makes judicious use of letters, contemporary reports and limpid accounts of harmony and counterpoint to put the man (sociable, funny, arrogant, worried about money) back into the music. The production values of the book are exquisite, too.' -- Steven Poole The Guardian 20101027
