Description

Oxford & New York: OUP, 2001. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j, grey boards, metallic green titling, text block firm, pages crisp; some highlighting.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). In lucid and engaging style, Stinson explores Bach's 'Great Eighteen' Organ Chorales - among Bach's most celebrated works for organ - from a wide range of historical and analytical perspectives, including the models used by Bach in conceiving the individual pieces, his subsequent compilation of these works into a collection, and his compositional process as preserved by the autograph manuscript. Stinson also considers various issues of performance practice, and provides the first comprehensive examination of the music's reception, its dissemination in manuscript and printed form, and its influence on such composers as Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms.
Used - Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j, grey boards, metallic green titling, text block firm, pages crisp; some highlighting.
