Anatoly Milka

Rethinking J.S. Bach's The Art of Fugue (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Sheinberg, Esti / Übersetzer: Ritzarev, Translated By Marina

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Anatoly P Milka presents a consistent and coherent solution to the unresolved questions about the history, structure and appearance of J.S. Bach's The Art of Fugue, opening new perspectives for further exploration of this musical masterpiece. Milka challenges the present scholarly consensus that there exist two different versions of The Art of Fugue (the Autograph and the Original Edition) and argues that Bach had considered four versions, of which only two are apparent and have been discussed so far. Only Bach's illness and death prevented him from fulfilling his plan and publishing a fourth, conclusive version of his opus.
