Overview
{"p":[{"em":["Goldberg Variations","Counterpoint"]},"He describes the joys of mastering some of the piano pieces, the frustrations that plague his understanding of others, the technical challenges they pose, and the surpassing beauty of the melodies, harmonies, and counterpoint that distinguish them. While exploring Bach’s compositions he sketches a cultural history of playing the piano in the twentieth century. And he raises two questions that become increasingly interrelated, not unlike a contrapuntal passage in one of the variations itself: What does it mean to know a piece of music? What does it mean to know another human being?"]}The book, Counterpoint: A Memoir of Bach and Mourning [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9780393868388 in Paperback by Philip Kennicott may be ordered in bulk quantities.
