That Johann Sebastian Bach is a pivotal figure in the history of
Western music is hardly news, and the magnitude of his achievement
is so immense that it can be difficult to grasp. In "About Bach,"
fifteen scholars show that Bach's importance extends from choral to
orchestral music, from sacred music to musical parodies, and also
to his scribes and students, his predecessors and successors.
Further, the contributors demonstrate a diversity of musicological
approaches, ranging from close studies of Bach's choices of musical
form and libretto to wider analyses of the historical and cultural
backgrounds that impinged upon his creations and their lasting
influence. This volume makes significant contributions to Bach
biography, interpretation, pedagogy, and performance.
Contributors are Gregory G. Butler, Jen-Yen Chen, Alexander J.
Fisher, Mary Dalton Greer, Robert Hill, Ton Koopman, Daniel R.
Melamed, Michael Ochs, Mark Risinger, William H. Scheide,
Hans-Joachim Schulze, Douglass Seaton, George B. Stauffer, Andrew
Talle, and Kathryn Welter.
