The new publication from the well-known Bach scholar Prof. Hans-Joachim Schulze is a compilation of more than 60 articles from 50 years of Bach research. These texts are organised in seven chapters    and summarise findings on Bach’s biography, family, students, friends, performance practice and reception over the past three centuries.

The book, which was made possible by the Bach Archive Leipzig, the Neue Bachgesellschaft and the Johann Sebastian Bach Foundation, is now available in bookshops.

We hope you enjoy the many fascinating articles.
