Bach and the Patterns of Invention Zusammenfassung

Bach and the Patterns of Invention Laurence Dreyfus

In this major new interpretation of the music of J. S. Bach, we gain a striking picture of the composer as a unique critic of his age. By reading Bach's music against the grain of contemporaries such as Vivaldi and Telemann, Laurence Dreyfus explains how Bach's approach to musical invention in a variety of genres posed a fundamental challenge to Baroque aesthetics.

Bach and the Patterns of Invention Bewertungen

Dreyfus's writing is clear and entertaining... and the advantage of [this] approach to Bach is that it makes us listen to his work as he himself listened to the music of his contemporaries, and as they would have listened to his. It does not claim to read the composer's mind, but it reconstructs some of the processes through which he had to go to compose in each case, and it does so by referring to aural experience, leaving questions of ideology and doctrine temporarily on the side. - Charles Rosen, New York Review of Books; An original and detailed appraisal of Bach's achievement... Much of this book is concerned with detailed analysis that tries to illuminate, and at least to some extent to recreate, Bach's processes of composition. - Barry Mitchell, Times Higher Education Supplement
