Few bodies of Western music are as widely respected, studied, and
emulated as the fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach. Despite the esteem
which Bach's contributions brought to the genre, however, the
origin and early history of the fugue remain poorly understood.
Theories of Fugue from the Age of Josquin to the Age of Bach
addresses both the history and methodology of the pre-Bach fugue
(from roughly 1500 to 1700), and, of greatest significance to the
literature, it seeks to present a way out of the methodological
dilemma of uncertainty which has plagued previous scholarly
attempts by considering what musicians of the time had to say about
the fugue: what it was, what it was not, how important it was, and
where and how a composer should (or shouldn't) use it. Paul Mark
Walker is director of the Early Music Ensemble at the University of
Virginia and an expert on the history of the fugue.
