'J.S.Bach' by Albert Schweitzer in two volumes, first published in
The great humanitarian Albert Schweitzer was also an admirer of J. S. Bach, and these two books are one of the great full-length studies of the composer, his life, and his work. The first volume includes a full account of Bach's life, and discusses his works for organ, clavier, strings, and orchestra, while the second is concerned with Bach's choral music — the chorales, cantatas, the Magnificat, the St. Matthew and St. John Passions, the motets, songs, oratorios, and masses. The books, though a little worn, are complete and in good condition: a must for any student of music! Ad ID:
