An Introduction to Bach Studies

This volume is a guide to the resources and materials of Bach scholarship, both for the non-specialist wondering where to begin in the enormous literature on J.S. Bach, and for Bach specialists looking for a convenient and up-to-date survey of the field. It describes the tools of Bach research and how to use them, and suggests how to get started in such research by describing the principal areas of research and citing the essential literature on each piece and topic. Subjects covered include bibliographic tools of Bach research and sources of literature; Bach's family: Bach biographies; places Bach lived and worked; Bach's teaching; the liturgy; Bach source studies and the transmission of his music; repertory and editions; genres and individual vocal and instrumental works; the reception and analysis of Bach's music; and many others.
