Critics Review
An Introduction to Bach Studies is a book that any serious student of Bach will want to own. * Matthew Dirst, Music and Letters, Vol.81, No.3, 2000. *
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, this volume can’t be beaten as a guide to the literature and as a blueprint for future scholarly work on Bach. I just wonder how we have got along without it for so long. * Matthew Dirst, Music and Letters, Vol.81, No.3, 2000. *
this volume is an even-handed, concise report on the current state of research on its subject. * Matthew Dirst, Music and Letters, Vol.81, No.3, 2000. *
The book is comprehensive without being overwhelming. * Matthew Dirst, Music and Letters, Vol.81, No.3, 2000. *
This wonderful little book may be the first guide to the literature on a single composer and his music to become an instant classic. Why? … because it is a smart concept with a user-friendly design. Thanks to Daniel Rl Melamed, Michael Marissen and Oxford University Press, the bibliographically challenged among us can now negotiate the formidable thicket of Bach scholarship with ease. * Matthew Dirst, Music and Letters, Vol.81, No.3, 2000. *
