Böcker av John (University of Cambridge) Butt

This study is a comprehensive assessment of J.S. Bach's use of articulation marks (i.e. slurs and dots) in the large body of primary sources. Dr Butt analyses their role within the compositional processes, how they relate to the norms of articulation of the period, and how they might assist us in understanding Bach's style.

In considering the role of practical music in education, this book attempts to define the art of performance in Germany during the Baroque period.
