Fluff, or if you prefer: a highly circumlocutory string of half connected sentences and paragraphs around not knowing the exact origins of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Book 1, that is. It doesn't even mention the second book.
- ask_b123 4y agoMight be fluff but I still got to discover the existence of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Also, the 2nd book is mentioned in the last sentence.
- jacquesm 4y agoThe number of Bach family people with their own Wikipedia page is probably some kind of record for a family that old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_family

- Aidevah 4y agoYes. It's very difficult to say anything interesting or revealing about music that cannot otherwise be understood or felt by listening to an intelligent performance. Most people are incapable of describing "the music itself", so most writings on music are biographical, as is the case here. It really makes you appreciate how rare writers like Charles Rosen are.
