{"product_id":"bach-perspectives-volume-7","title":"Bach Perspectives, Volume 7","description":"J. S. Bach's creativity is so overwhelming his compositions in some genres eclipse his work in others. His glorious choral works, profound organ compositions, and exquisite solo compositions for violin and cello attract the most attention. Volume Seven of \u003ci\u003eBach Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e restores Bach's concertos to their rightful place of honor. \u003cp\u003eGregory Butler focuses on Bach's \u003ci\u003eConcerto for Harpsichord\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStrings in E Major (BWV 1053)\u003c\/i\u003e as a pastiche created by a process of assemblage of three earlier heterogeneous movements. Pieter Dirksen delves into the source history of the \u003ci\u003eConcerto for Harpsichord\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStrings in F Minor (BWV 1056)\u003c\/i\u003e and concludes it represents a transcription of an earlier violin concerto in G minor. David Schulenberg investigates the generic ambiguity of the concerto in the early eighteenth century and how it diverged from the sonata to become a distinct genre. Completing the volume is Christoph Wolff's examination of the \"\"Siciliano\"\" as a slow movement in Bach's concertos and its implications for the source history of his \u003ci\u003eConcerto for Harpsichord\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStrings in E Major (BWV 1053)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230965846360,"sku":"9780252031656","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780252031656_d8e49deb-d5b7-4b1c-9382-acb50ba54381.jpg?v=1778562079","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bach-perspectives-volume-7","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
