About the Composer

Johann Sebastian Bach

For many musicians he is “the Alpha and Omega of all music” (Max Reger). Except for operas, Bach composed masterpieces for every ensemble and genre of his age. His catalogue of works contains almost 1,100 entries, including the great Passions of St. Matthew and St. Johan, the Goldberg Variations, the Brandenburg Concerti, or hundreds of singular cantatas. As organist in Mühlhausen and Weimar he creates primarily organ compositions, concerti, and works of chamber music. Later, as music director in Köthen and for the decades he serves as cantor in Leipzig, he composes chiefly sacred vocal compositions and keyboard works. His later, contrapuntally complex compositions exert an enormous influence on the compositional styles and practices of later generations.

Henle biedt een overzichtelijke, geheel volgens de huidige normen vormgegeven tekst in een prettig openslaand cahier. Met het oog op de studietijd die deze bewerking zelfs van zeer gevorderde pianisten vergt, is een dergelijk handzame vormgeving bepaald gewenst te noemen.

Insgesamt ist diese Neuausgabe aber in jedem Fall eine wunderbare Einladung, Bach-Busoni wieder oder neu für sich zu entdecken – und damit ebenso geschmack- wie prachtvolle klavieristische Aneignungen eines Repertoires, das von der Kirche in den Konzertsaal geholt wird, wie es schon Liszt in seinen Bearbeitungen vorgemacht hatte.
