Bach Perspectives, Volume 2

J. S. Bach, the Breitkopfs, and Eighteenth-Century Music Trade

About this book

Launched in 1995, Bach Perspectives has become the premier English-language serial book series dedicated to cutting-edge Bach scholarship. The University of Illinois Press now offers the first four volumes in open access editions available for free to all interested readers.

From 1727 to 1787, the Bach and the Breitkopf families enjoyed close professional ties forged by the growing trade between music composers and music printers. The second volume of Bach Perspectives examines the inventive and far-flung activities of the Breitkopf firm from the vantage point of its commerce with J. S. Bach and his relatives.

Contributors: Gregory G. Butler, Robert M. Cammarota, Peggy Daub, Andreas Glöckner, George R. Hill, Yoshitake Kobayashi, Ortrun Landmann, Ernest May, Hans-Joachim Schulze, George B. Stauffer, and Neal Zaslaw
