Synopsis "Back to Bach. From Mozart to Moog - A Listener's Guide"

According to the French composer Olivier Messiaen, ‘Bach’s music reaches all times, all places’. In Back to Bach: From Mozart to Moog George Michell explores the story of Bach’s impact on composers from Mozart and Beethoven to Stravinsky and Shostakovich, as well as on jazz pianists, rock guitarists and pop singers, all of whom set off on their own Back to Bach journeys. Readers are invited to become listeners, to feast on Michell’s musical banquet. Under his guidance, they will discover works, both familiar and unfamiliar, that reveal the persistent influence of Bach’s art. As Michell shows, George Bernard Shaw was right when he predicted that ‘Bach belongs not to the past, but to the future’. An accessible, indispensable reference for all Bach lovers, the book will appeal to the musically curious, willing to explore the incarnations of Bach into acoustics that he could never have known, from the modern grand piano, electric keyboard, saxophone quartet and big band to the Moog synthesiser.
