The Art of Fugue: Bach Fugues for Keyboard, 1715-1750 [With CD W/New Recordings/Davitt Moroney & Karen Rosenak] [With CD W/New Recordings/Davitt Moron Paperback - 2008
by Joseph Kerman
First line
The Well-Tempered Clavier is an exemplary collection of twice twenty-four preludes and fugues for keyboard in which Bach exhibits his unsurpassed contrapuntal virtuosity and also the seemingly infinite types, forms, and characters that may emerge-at his hands, and at his hands alone-from the art of fugue.
From the rear cover
"It is sweet and fitting that Joseph Kerman, who has given us such insight into William Byrd, one of music's inspiring octogenarians, should have celebrated his own eightieth birthday by completing this rich and constantly surprising study of Bach's fugues. As ever, Kerman's hearing is sharp, his thinking precise and original, and his prose elegant and sapid. Who would have thought that one could write about fugues with such warmth and love, and with such an exhilarating sense of joy?"--Michael Steinberg, author of "The Symphony: A Listener's Guide
