J.S. Bach : In Two Volumes : Volume Two

---

Outline: Independent of his international renown as a humanitarian. Albert Schweitzer is well known as a great musicologist; a reputation that rests largely upon this book. Schweitzer's J. S. Bach is one of the great full-length studies of the composer, his life, and his work. Its influence on the subsequent performance of Bach's music was enormous, and there is scarcely a later work on Bach which does not acknowledge a deep debt to Schweitzer's. Volume II is concerned with Bach's choral music - the chorales, cantatas, the Magnificat, the St. Matthew and St. John Passions, the motets, songs, oratorios, and masses. The illuminating analyses of these works, illustrated by hundreds of musical examples, are dominated by Schweitzer's highly music, and the expressive motives Schweitzer has found and identified throughout Bach's compositions. A long concluding chapter makes recommendations for performance: on tempo, phrasing, accentuation, dynamics, the size and the arrangement of the orchestra and choir. Schweitzer's J. S. Bach is among the definitive reference works on Bach, yet it is not a difficult or formidable work. It offers a stimulating, well-written narrative, with much in it to interest the music lover as well as the scholar. Unabridged, unaltered republication of 1st (1911) English edition. Translated, with the author's additions and revisions, from the 1st German edition by Ernest Newman. Translator's Foreword. Preface by C. M. Widor. 5 illustrations. 650 musical examples. Bibliographies at chapter headings. General Index. Index to Bach's compositions. Numerical listing of Church Cantatas. xix + 928pp. 5 3/4 x 8 1/2. Two Volumes Set. Paperbound
