Unaccompanied Bach - Performing the Solo Works - Grand Format

"Magnificent... Rich in scholarship and insight" - "David Ledbetter... has added significantly to the literature on the Well-tempered Clavier... Perseverance will reward the reader with a greatly deepened awareness of the many contextual factors and previous developments, practices and compositions that shed light on the 48.... The research is thorough and deep. If understanding affects performance, and I believe it does, a thoughtful reading of the text is sure to make its mark" - "[An] impressive and rewarding study....
The true excellence of Ledbetter's book derives from the author's encyclopedic knowledge."
