| Reviews | Johann Sebastian Bach's so-called Art of Fugue, a practical and splendid work of 70 plates in folio, will one day throw all French and Italian Makers into astonishment - at least to the extent that they can really penetrate and understand it, not to speak of playing it. How would it be, then, if every foreigner and every compatriot risked his louis d'or on this rarity? Germany is and will most certainly remain the true land of the organ and fugue. --Johann Mattheson, 1752 |
