Abstract

Les Suites anglaises de Bach, loin de n'être qu'un divertissement savant, pourraient bien constituer un discours musical de préparation à la mort, très structuré, basé sur le texte du choral Jesu, meine Freude. Est-ce à dire que la démarche de Bach dans ce recueil aurait pu être de nature ésotérique ? Bien au contraire. L'auteur montre que les Suites anglaises auraient servi de support pour la dévotion domestique, pratique quotidienne chez les luthériens au XVIIIe siècle. Chemin faisant, cet ouvrage propose une analyse approfondie du langage symbolique de Bach pour tenter de pénétrer le sens caché des Suites anglaises. Ce livre s'adresse aux interprètes (pianistes et clavecinistes), aux étudiants, aux spécialistes de la musique baroque allemande, ainsi qu'aux amateurs passionnés qui voudraient pleinement comprendre cette musique.

Abstract

Peter Williams approaches afresh the life and music of arguably the most studied of all composers, interpreting both Bach's life by deconstructing his original obituary in the light of more recent information and his music by evaluating his priorities and irrepressible creative energy. How, even though belonging to musical families on both his parents' sides, did he come to possess so bewitching a sense of rhythm and melody and a mastery of harmony that established nothing less than a norm in Western culture? In considering that the works of a composer are his biography, the book's title A Life in Music means both a life spent making music and one revealed in the music as we know it. A distinguished scholar and performer, Williams re-examines Bach's life as an orphan and family man, as an extraordinarily gifted composer and player and as an ambitious artist who never suffered fools gladly.
