{"product_id":"9780198027621","title":"J.S. Bach's Great Eighteen Organ Chorales","description":"On the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, this volume offers an in-depth look at the \"Great Eighteen\" organ chorales, among the most celebrated works for organ, and a milestone in the history of the chorale. Addressed to organists, scholars, and general listeners alike, this lucid and engaging book examines the music from a wide spectrum of historical and analytical perspectives.  Stinson examines the models used by Bach in conceiving the original pieces, his subsequent compilation of these works into a collection, and his compositional process as preserved by the autograph manuscript. Himself an accomplished organist, Stinson also considers various issues of performance practice and concludes with a discussion of the music's reception--its dissemination in manuscript and printed form, its performance history, and its influence on later composers. Completely up-to-date and presenting a wealth of new material, much of it translated into English for the first time, this study will open up fresh perspectives on some of the composer's greatest creations.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119868494064,"sku":"9780198027621","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198027621_p0.jpg?v=1763665340","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198027621","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
