Description
The Brandenburg Concertos represent a pinnacle in the history of the Baroque concerto. This guide places the concertos in their historical context and explores how they have been understood since Bach's time. A substantial chapter considers each concerto individually, revealing those aspects of their style and structure that make this group of works unique. The work's rich instrumentarium is also carefully described, providing a detailed understanding of the music. By examining the sources, origins, and changing traditions of performance, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of Bach's most admired works.
