Known around the world as a skilled violinist, teacher, and advocate for historically informed performance of early music, Stanley Ritchie has developed a definitive performer's guide to comprehending and performing J. S. Bach's musical language.
In Speaking Bach, Ritchie widens the focus of his study of Bach's six solo sonatas and partitas to incorporate questions about how technical approaches to performing these pieces are affected by considerations of rhetoric, harmonic structure, and subtleties of expression. In doing so, Ritchie helps violinists form a deeper understanding of this essential repertoire, even as they work to perfect their skills and interpretations. Speaking Bach includes sections on technique, harmonic and melodic structure, expression and ornamentation, and analytical exercises, all using passages from the solo sonatas and partitas to address the specific challenges posed by playing Bach.
An important addition to any violinist's collection, Speaking Bach shows us how J. S. Bach thought about his own music and illuminates what is both technically and musically appropriate for this essential repertoire.
