When this volume was originally published in 1954 it was the first complete history of the Bach family from the 16^th Century miller Veit to Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst (1759-1845), Johann Sebastianâs grandson. The author views the family as a whole and shows the characteristic similarities in their artistic and human attitudes as well as the most significant divergences. Equal stress is laid on the discussion of the personalities, against the swiftly changing historical scene, and on the music, for which the author was able to use vast, hitherto inaccessible material. Apart from describing the fascinating phenomenon of this musical family, the author gives a history of musical thought in the last 300 years.
