Commentaries on the Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach Summary

Commentaries on the Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach: A Selective Guide by Hans-Joachim Schulze

Internationally recognized Bach authority Hans-Joachim Schulze authored a 225-part series on the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach. In this collection, James A. Brokaw II translates a selection of the essays, illuminating a wide range of biographical and cultural features of Bachs life and creative milieu. Schulzes lively and engaging discussions provide a wealth of rewarding insights and perspectives focusing on individual cantatas, their texts, and the questions of chronology and context that attend them.

The University of Illinois Press has paired the volume with a special web-based companion overseen by the translator and hosted by the Illinois Open Publishing Network. This online resource includes Brokaws translations of all 225 of Schulzes essays alongside digital tools for searching, sorting, and bundling the commentaries according to date of composition, position within the liturgical church year sequence, and librettist.

Commentaries on the Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach Reviews

Absolute top-of-the-line scholarship. Schulzes interests and concerns are always interesting and well handled, and well rendered into English by Brokaw. Schulze is an excellent scholar at finding new historical sources and information--indeed, on the wide ranges and types of historical/archival Bach documents, Schulze is by far the greatest authority that there has ever been in Bach studies.--Michael Marissen, author of Bach against Modernity
