| Description |
|
|
"Rediscovered" in the early 19th century, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is considered by some to be the father of modern music, a supreme craftsman who was able to combine the order of the Middle Ages with the passionate individualism of the Renaissance. Martin Geck offers a portrait of Bach in his time, and describes the personal, political, and social circumstances that shaped some of the greatest music ever written. This is one in a series of compact biographies that present the careers of major figures of the arts, sciences, and politics in the context of their life and times. It includes sources, a chronology noting concurrent events, further reading, and lists of major works.
