Johann Sebastian Bach has loomed large in the imagination of
scholars, performers, and audiences since the late nineteenth
century.This new book, edited by veteran Bach scholar Bettina
Varwig, gathers a diverse group of leading and emerging Bach
researchers as well as a number of contributors from beyond the
core of Bach studies. The book's fourteen chapters engage in active
'rethinking' of different topics connected with Bach; the iconic
name which broadly encompasses the historical individual, the
sounds and afterlives of his music, as well as all that those four
letters came to stand for in the later popular and scholarly
imagination. In turn, challenging the fundamental assumptions about
the nineteenth-century Bach revival, the rise of the modern work
concept, Bach's music as a code, and about editions of his music as
monuments. Collectively, these contributions thus take apart,
scrutinize, dust off and reassemble some of our most cherished
narratives and deeply held beliefs about Bach and his music. In
doing so, they open multiple pathways towards exciting future
modesof engagement with the composer and his legacy.
