Bach fue un compositor prolífico cuyas piezas, que se esmeró en clasificar en diversas colecciones, forman un grandioso cosmos en el que todas sus inagotables ideas musicales encuentran su lugar. En este ensayo fundamental, Wolff ahonda en el análisis de su rica colección musical, que transciende las fronteras habituales entre épocas, géneros e instrumentos. Partiendo de una notable selección de piezas desde la temprana colección de las Seis tocatas para clave hasta obras tardías como El arte de la fuga y la Misa en si menor analiza en detalle el método compositivo de Bach atendiendo a la gran variedad de géneros instrumentales y vocales que abarca, ilustrativa de la profundidad y riqueza de su obra. Al rastrear la evolución del compositor, Wolff saca a la luz las aspiraciones y el legado de este gigante de la música de un modo innovador, desvelando la esencia de su arte a neófitos y expertos por igual.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a Happily Ever After, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke and bogged down with writer’s block. Then one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.
