This was the first attempt at a full length biography of Bach and a
critical apreciation of his work as composer and performer.
Translated by Walter Emery in 1941-1942 with introductory notes and
two appendices, but not published in his lifetime. Walter Emery,
musicologist, specialised in the works J.S. Bach.
The Letters of C.P.E. Bach is a complete edition of the correspondence of the most famous of J.S. Bach's sons. Very few of these letters have appeared previously in English translation. They provide a fascinating picture of an eighteenth-century composer hard at work publishing his own music, debating aesthetic matters, and championing the music and teachings of his father. The readable translation, detailed index, extensive cross referencing, and glossary of names make this an accessible and useful volume.
This manuscript is Walter Emery's own English translation of Bach's
obituary notice, written jointly by C.P.E. Bach and J.F. Agricola,
originally published in Mizler's Neu Eroffnete Musikalischer
Bibliothek, volume 4, part 1 in Leipzig 1754. Also included are two
short biographical excerpts on Bach: J.G. Walther's Musikalisches
Lexicon (1732) and the Genealogy which Bach himself compiled in
c.1735.
