Theories of Fugue from the Age of Josquin to the Age of Bach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Few bodies of Western music are as widely respected, studied, and emulated as the fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach. Despite the esteem which Bach's contributions brought to the genre, however, the origin and early history of the fugue remain poorly understood. This work addresses both the history and methodology of the pre-Bach fugue.
