The Organ Music of J. S. Bach
Peter Williams
Cambridge University Press
Taking account of Bach scholarship of the past twenty-five years, the first two volumes of Peter Williams's classic study of Bach's organ works are fully revised. This work is a piece-by-piece commentary on this ever-popular repertoire, demonstrating the music's unique qualities and how we might hear and play it today. The book follows the order of the Bach catalog (BWV): beginning with the sonatas, followed by the ''free works'' and the chorales, and ending with the doubtful works, including the ''newly discovered chorales'' of 1985.
