Download or read book The Organ Music of J S Bach written by Peter Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-11 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a completely revised 2003 edition of volumes I and II of The Organ Music of J. S. Bach (1980), a bestselling title, which has subsequently become a classic text. This edition takes account of Bach scholarship of the 25 years prior to publication. Peter Williams's piece-by-piece commentary puts the musical sources of the organ works in context, describing the form and content of each work and relating them to other music, German and non-German. He summarises the questions about the history, authenticity, chronology, function and performance of each piece, and points out important details of style and musical quality. The study follows the order of the Bach catalogue (BWV), beginning with the sonatas, then the 'free works', followed by chorales and ending with the doubtful works, including the 'newly discovered chorales' of 1985.

Download or read book The Organ Works of Bach written by Harvey Grace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organ Works of Bach This is, I think, the first systematic and comprehensive English book on the organ works of Bach. It comes from one who is both organist and musician. I hasten to explain. By "both" organist and musician" I do not mean what some rude scribes mean when they say of a singer, by way of the highest praise they can give him, that he is not only a singer but a musician. I would never dream of suggesting that there are organists who are not musicians. But it goes without saying that there are musicians who are not organists. I know the tribe exists, because I am a humble member of it myself. My own practical acquaintance with the organ has been limited to the rare occasions when I have sat by an organist friend who has allowed me to let my fingers wander idly over the noisy keys, as somebody's did in the song, and with the same futility. But though I cannot play the organ, I have studied a good deal of organ music: my own knowledge of Bach's organ works, indeed, is derived in the first place from study of them either at the pianoforte or with the score on my knees. There must be many others who have learned them in the same way. But what we learn of them in this way is obviously not all that is to be learned about them. They were written for a particular instrument, and cannot fully come to life except on that instrument. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book J S Bach written by George B. Stauffer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.S. Bach's 250 extant organ works represent the greatest body of music for the pipe organ, and during his lifetime Bach was able to combine great virtuosity--daring passages for the feet as well as the hands--with bold, dramatic gestures to produce music that dazzled contemporary audiences. In this book, leading musicologist George B. Stauffer shows that Bach focused steadily on organ composition for more than fifty years, and that his unending quest for novelty, innovation, and refinement resulted in pieces that continue to reward and awe listeners today.
Download or read book The Afterlife of Bach s Organ Works written by Russell Stinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of J. S. Bach continues to be revered and celebrated centuries after his death. Its timelessness can be attributed to masterful musical engineering combined with profound expressivity. In other words, Bach's unique art may represent the pinnacle of contrapuntal technique, but it is just as amazing for its depth of emotion. Bach's compositions remain an indispensable part of the classical-music canon today. The Afterlife of Bach's Organ Works explores the critical impact made on posterity by Bach's organ music. It concerns a diverse group of musicians and non-musicians alike--some famous, some forgotten--who in one way or another became champions of these compositions. These individuals performed the music; edited it for publication; promoted it by means of books, articles, and reviews; transcribed it for other media; taught it to their pupils; shared it with their family and friends; and incorporated it into the soundtracks of their motion pictures. They ensured its "afterlife." In five chapters, organist and Bach expert Russell Stinson traces the historical afterlife of Bach's organ music from the early nineteenth century--the era of the so-called Bach revival--to the present day. Engagingly written and containing a wealth of information previously unavailable in English, the book is a history of performance practice, an aesthetic history of musical taste, and a social history. Each chapter tells the story of how and why Bach's organ works have stood the test of time.
