Editorial Reviews
Review
On the first edition: '... obligatory for anyone concerned with the core of the organ repertory ... Dr Williams's writing has a rare vigour and confidence; its sheer authority makes for compelling reading.' Stanley Sadie in Gramophone
'... is, without doubt, the most important text on the master's organ music.' Classical Music
' ... there is no denying the stimulating nature of the content ... you will find much to stimulate, provoke, invigorate ... that is good scholarship.' Early Music Today
Book Description
Taking account of Bach scholarship of the past twenty-five years, the first two volumes of Peter Williams's classic study of Bach's organ works are fully revised. This work is a piece-by-piece commentary on this ever-popular repertoire, demonstrating the music's unique qualities and how we might hear and play it today. The book follows the order of the Bach catalog (BWV): beginning with the sonatas, followed by the "free works" and the chorales, and ending with the doubtful works, including the "newly discovered chorales" of 1985.
