Published in its first edition in 1983, Boyd's treatment of this
canonical composer is essential reading for students, scholars, and
everyone interested in Baroque music. In this third edition,
biographical chapters alternate with commentary on the works, to
demonstrate how the circumstances of Bach's life helped to shape
the music he wrote at various periods. We follow Bach as he travels
from Arnstadt and Muhlhausen to Weimar, Cothen, and finally
Leipzig, these journeys alternating with insightful discussions of
the great composer's organ and orchestral compositions. As well as
presenting a rounded picture of Bach, his music, and his posthumous
reputation and influence, Malcolm Boyd considers the sometimes
controversial topics of "parody" and arrangement, number symbolism,
and the style and meaning of Bach's late works. Recent theories on
the constitution of Bach's performing forces at Leipzig are also
present. The text and the appendixes (which include a chronology,
personalia, bibliography, and a complete catalogue of Bach's works)
were thoroughly revised in this edition to take account of more
recent research undertaken by Bach scholars, including the gold
mine of new information uncovered in the former USSR.
