Did Bach Really Mean That?: Deceptive Notation in Baroque Keyboard Music

Colin Booth

4.9/5 (34481 ratings)

Description:Did Bach Really Mean That? is a book which explores musical notation and the way in which composers of Baroque keyboard music used it. It is an entertaining and practical guide not a dry work of scholarship. Scholarship is its basis, certainly, but the aim is to help all those who love Baroque music particularly those who play it, and even more so (but not exclusively) those who play a keyboard instrument to a deeper understanding of the music they play, and of the mindset of the composers who wrote it. The subject is notation: the way the music is written down. In crucial areas, like rhythm and ornamentation, Baroque music depended for its appropriate realisation, on a mutual understanding between composer and performer, of certain features of the score which might in many cases mean something different today. Recovering this understanding can make the music more alive and meaningful for today's players, and, paradoxically, give them greater freedom than they had when their performance was based just on a literal reading of the notes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
