What did Johann Sebastian Bach's world look like? Which people were close to him? Who did he work with? What writings document his life and work? This lavish picture book helps to bridge the 300-year historical gap and vividly brings to life Bach's personal history. The illustrations, mostly in color, present Bach's life from his beginnings in Eisenach, Ohrdruf and Luneburg, through his years as an organist in Arnstadt, Muhlhausen and Weimar and his period as Kapellmeister in Cothen, to his tenure in Leipzig as music director and cantor at St. Thomas's. From the series New Bach Edition, Revised Edition (NBA rev), Supplement.
