Eric Altschuler wrote his thesis at Harvard on applying statistical analysis to the fugues in Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Stephen Jay Gould, the popular science writer, served on his supervisory committee and wrote the introduction to this book. Altschuler writes in an accessible, lively style, giving useful background and structural information on each fugue, with good explanations of musical terms like stretto, canon, subject and countersubject, sequence, inversion and more. A handy reference for music students, and an interesting read for Bach lovers. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
By applying what Stephen Jay Gould describes in his preface as a Bill James style of statistical analysis of baseball teams to the 48 fugues and preludes in Bach's composition for the harpsichord, the author has created a unique listening guide to this musical composition. Altschuler's essays - one for each fugue in the Well-Tempered Clavier - are full of playful, often ingenuous analogies (to baseball teams, horror movies, chocolate chip cookies and sex) that render sophisticated musical concepts with clarity to listeners with little, or no, musical training.
