- Reading
- Try reading a chapter at a time, pausing at the music-theory section to discuss any new terms. The listed chapter topics can help you choose where to begin or return.
- Themes
- Bach’s life and musical legacy: The book presents Bach’s life, career and continuing reputation, including his music’s place in the classical genre. The framing asks what is great about Bach, while the overview promises insight into his life, times and career; how the book weighs admiration against explanation is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The contents include a section on basic music theory. If your reader is new to musical terms, you could check whether that section benefits from talking through unfamiliar ideas together.
