Bach, like Shakespeare, is known largely by his works, exceptional
in quantity as well as quality, and only a few original documents
convey any idea of his life and character. Peter Williams's 2003
look at Bach's biography asks many questions about the so-called
evidence. What was he like as a young man, as a father, as an
ageing church servant? What were his preoccupations? What music did
he know and how did he compose and perform such an amazing amount
of music? Was he a disappointed man? Reading the available
documentation critically, especially from the viewpoint of a
performer, and going back to the first substantial 'biography' of
Bach, namely his Obituary, Williams suggests new interpretations of
the composer's life and his work. In addition, he asks if our
understanding of Bach has been hindered by the unremitting
deference displayed towards him since his death.
