Description
Bach's Numbers: Compositional Proportion and Significance Ruth Tatlow explores how Johann Sebastian Bach used numerical perfection in his compositions. In 18th-century Germany, the concept of proportion was deeply ingrained in music and philosophy. This book reveals how Bach applied these principles to create balanced structures across his published collections. Tatlow examines the layers of proportion that appear within a movement, a work, between two works, and across multiple collections, shedding new light on Bach's compositional methods.
