Summary This volume offers readers new tools to understand how the music of J.S. Bach has been received by later generations. It focuses on the organ works, allowing readers to understand him as both composer and performer. The later generations here have championed the music in various ways: they performed it, edited it for publication, and shared it with their family and friends. This book thus is a history of performance practice, an aesthetic history of musical taste, and a social history
