Bach by Martin Geck
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was the father of modern music, a supreme craftsman able to combine the order of the middle ages with the passionate individualism of the renaissance.
The author makes judicious use of letters, contemporary reports and limpid accounts of harmony and counterpoint to put the man (sociable, funny, arrogant, worried about money) back into the musicThe production values of the book are exquisite, too.' -- Steven Poole The Guardian 20101027
