Reverence for J. S. Bach's music and its towering presence in our
cultural memory have long affected how people hear his works. In
his own time, however, Bach stood as just another figure among a
number of composers, many of them more popular with the
music-loving public. Eschewing the great composer style of music
history, Andrew Talle takes us on a journey that looks at how
ordinary people made music in Bach's Germany. Talle focuses in
particular on the culture of keyboard playing as lived in public
and private. As he ranges through a wealth of documents,
instruments, diaries, account ledgers, and works of art, Talle
brings a fascinating cast of characters to life. These
individuals--amateur and professional performers, patrons,
instrument builders, and listeners--inhabited a lost world, and
Talle's deft expertise teases out the diverse roles music played in
their lives and in their relationships with one another. At the
same time, his nuanced recreation of keyboard playing's social
milieu illuminates the era's reception of Bach's immortal works.
