This first of a two-volume study deals with the earlier part of Bach's career, and examines the output of his youth and its many external influences, before moving on to study the first great masterpieces in which Bach's own personal voice begins to emerge.
"This is a staggering achievement, and I am taken aback just imagining the amount of reading that has gone into it…. Jones supplies a summary that could serve as a vade mecum for students and Bach-admirers for a long time."
–Peter Williams, Musical Times
"Anybody wishing to get to grips with the music of Bach will be well advised to equip themselves with this survey as their starting point…. You will be rewarded by Jones's happy ability to formulate his insights in an effective and compelling way."
–David Ledbetter, Early Music
