Aria scotese con variazzione
This set of ten variations for violoncello and harpsichord on a traditional Scottish tune is attributed to “J. P. Bach” in its unique source. Among the Bach family musicians, only one had those initials, namely Johann Philipp Bach (1752–1846). The last surviving member of this musical dynasty, J. P. Bach reached the age of ninety-four and outlived many famous composers of the Romantic era. Like his father and grandfather, J. P. Bach served at the court in Meiningen, Germany. He is best known as a visual artist, especially for his pastels. Although he held the post of organist as well as painter for the dukes in Meiningen, until now J. P. Bach’s music has been completely unknown. Since this work is apparently the only known composition by the last professional musician in the long line of Bach family members, it is of considerable historical importance.
The Letters of C.P.E. Bach
This is a complete edition of the correspondence of the most famous of J.S. Bach's sons. Very few of these letters have appeared previously in English translation. They provide a fascinating picture of an eighteenth-century composer hard at work publishing his own music, debating aesthetic matters, and championing the music and teachings of his father. The readable translation, detailed index, extensive cross referencing, and glossary of names make this an accessible and useful volume.
The Music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Of the four sons of J.S. Bach who became composers, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88) was the most prolific, the most original, and the most influential both during and after his lifetime. This first full-length English-language study critically surveys his output, examining not only the famous keyboard sonatas and concertos but also the songs, chamber music, and sacred works, many of which resurfaced in 1999 and have not previously been evaluated. The bookalso outlines the composer's career from his student days at Leipzig and Frankfurt (Oder) to his nearly three decades as court musician to Prussian King Frederick "the Great" and his last twenty years as cantor at Hamburg. Focusing on the com...

The Bach Family
When this volume was originally published in 1954 it was the first complete history of the Bach family from the 16th Century miller Veit to Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst (1759-1845), Johann Sebastian’s grandson. The author views the family as a whole and shows the characteristic similarities in their artistic and human attitudes as well as the most significant divergences. Equal stress is laid on the discussion of the personalities, against the swiftly changing historical scene, and on the music, for which the author was able to use vast, hitherto inaccessible material. Apart from describing the fascinating phenomenon of this musical family, the author gives a history of musical thought in the last 300 years.
