    A searching and challenging interpretation of one of the greatest composers of all time.

  • Book Description

    Bach, like Shakespeare, is known largely by his works, and only a few original documents convey any idea of his life and character. Interpreting the so-called evidence, Peter Williams asks many questions. What was Bach like as a young man, as a father, as an ageing church servant? What music did he know and how did he compose and perform such an amazing amount of music? In addition, he asks if our understanding of Bach has been hindered by the unremitting deference displayed towards him since his death.

  • Product Description

    Like Shakespeare, J.S. Bach is known largely by his works. Peter Williams asks many questions in this examination of the man as well as the composer. What was Bach like as a youth, father, and, eventually, church elder? What music did he know and how did he compose and perform such an amazing amount? Ultimately, Williams questions the effects of unremitting acclaim on objective evaluations of J.S. Bach.
