The B-minor Mass has always represented a fascinating challenge to musical scholarship. Composed over the course of Johann Sebastian Bach's life, it is considered by many to be the composer's greatest and most complex work. The fourteen essays assembled in this volume originate from the International Symposium 'Understanding Bach's B-minor mass' at which scholars from eighteen countries gathered to debate the latest topics in the field. In revised and updated form, they comprise a thorough and systematic study of Bach's Opus Ultimum, including a wide range of discussions relating to the Mass's historical background and contexts, structure and proportion, sources and editions, and the reception of the work in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the light of important new developments in the study of the piece, this collection demonstrates the innovation and rigour for which Bach scholarship has become known.

« Le but de la musique devrait n'être que la gloire de Dieu et le délassement des âmes. »On n'a longtemps vu en Johann Sebastian Bach, en français Jean-Sébastien Bach (1685-1750), qu'un organiste virtuose, voire un protestant bigot ou un fonctionnaire du culte composant à marche forcée. Pourtant, cantates, Passions, concertos, sonates, fugues, canons, passacailles, rien ne résiste à la boulimie de ce musicien complet qui maîtrise parfaitement la facture des instruments, la technique instrumentale, la composition, l'improvisation, la pédagogie, et la gestion d'une institution musicale. Homme aux multiples facettes et père de vingt enfants, l'auteur de L'Art de la fugue, qui ignore la cassure habituelle entre musique profane et religieuse, est considéré aujourd'hui comme un des plus grands musiciens de tous les temps.
