Bonus: A Bach Article from 1985

This is the fourth bonus episode. Two episodes ago, I began with a quote from Aldous Huxley. That quote came from an article written in 1985. The article focused on Bach's relationship to words and various writer's relationships with Bach. The whole article is fascinating and, well, I read it to you.  A piece of what I consider 'good scholarship', it takes stabs at what Bach playing would be like today, in 2020, but sets the standard for the next episode, in which we will be de-bunking poor Bach scholarship. Here is the link to the article:https://www.nytimes.com/1985/03/24/books/bach-at-300-words-notes-and-numbers.html And here is the link to the obituary of the James A. Winn, who wrote it (d.2019)https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/obituaries/2019/03/27/james-winn-writer-english-professor-and-flautist/ZFGI9AJa9pvRcU13TyuOmJ/story.html Follow me on instagram: Each day I am posting the cello complete suites on a portable clavichord: @wtfbach As always, thanks for listening, -evan Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfbach.substack.com/subscribe
