商品簡介
It is often called the English Bach Revival, says Australian musicologist Kassler, but there was nothing to revive: the earliest discovered mention of Bach's (1685-1750) music in England is dated to 1754. He begins with a chronology of events relating to the introduction of the music during the period. Then he, Philip Olleson (historical musicology, U. of Notthingham) and Yo Tomita (music, Queen's U. of Belfast) discuss such aspects as manifested sources of the 48, the English translation of Forkel's Life of Bach, Killmann's proof of the regularity of Bach's Chromatic Fantasy, stages of revision of the Wesley/Horn 48, Samuel Wesley as analyst of Bach's fugues, and portraits of Bach in England before 1830. Only people and compositions are indexed. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
