As the official publication of the American Bach Society, Bach
Perspectives has pioneered new areas of research in the life,
times, and music of Bach since its first appearance in 1995. In a
series long known for its major essays by leading Bach scholars and
performers, Bach Perspectives, Volume 6 is no exception. This
volume opens with Joshua Rifkin's seminal study of the early source
history of the B-minor orchestral suite. It not only elaborates on
Rifkin's discovery that the work in its present form for solo flute
goes back to an earlier version in A minor, ostensibly for solo
violin, but also takes this discovery as the point of departure for
a wide-ranging discussion of the origins and extent of Bach's
output in the area of concerted ensemble music. Jeanne Swack
presents an enlightening comparison of Georg Phillip Telemann's and
Bach's approach to the French overture as concerted movements in
their church cantatas, and Steven Zohn views the B-minor orchestral
suite from the standpoint of the "concert en ouverture," responding
to Rifkin by suggesting that the early version of the B-minor
orchestral suite may also have been scored for flute.
