Book Summary and Reviews of Johann Sebastian Bach by Martin Geck

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Surprisingly little is known about the domestic and professional life of the man many consider the greatest composer who ever lived, and even this monumental study by a German musicologist has to fall back on a great deal of supposition of the kind all too familiar from some Shakespearean biographies." - PW.
"Starred Review. Ordinary lovers of music will join specialists in praising this book." - Booklist.
"Highly recommended for academic and music collections and also suitable for public libraries with a knowledgeable clientele." - Library Journal.
