J. S. Bach's Great Eighteen Organ Chorales

Abstract

This book explores Bach's “Great Eighteen” Organ Chorales—among Bach's most celebrated works for organ—from a wide range of historical and analytical perspectives, including the models used by Bach in conceiving the individual pieces, his subsequent compilation of these works into a collection, and his compositional process as preserved by the autograph manuscript. It also considers various issues of performance practice, and provides a comprehensive examination of the music's reception, its dissemination in manuscript and printed form, and its influence on such composers as Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms.
