The New Grove Bach Family

Centered on the life of Johann Sebastian Bach, this composite volume examines the work of all the members of the Bach family. Linked by a family tree which clarifies the genealogy of the complex family, all the major members have separate chapters with a review of their life and works, complemented by a thorough work-list, bibliography and index. The work-lists of J.S., C.P.E. and J.C. Bach have been considerably revised and updated in the light of research since the publication of The new grove. An introductory chapter provides a full list of family members, with biographical details, and discusses the family history.
