Summary "Johann Sebastian Bach: The Organist and His Works for the Organ" by André Pirro is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly focusing on his work as an organist and the significance of his organ music. Through this exploration, it aims to provide insights into Bach’s musical contributions and his profound influence on the development of organ music. The opening of this work presents a preface that sets the tone for a deep analysis of Bach’s character and his musical genius. It portrays Bach as a humble and diligent figure who was dedicated to his craft, characterized by a combination of formidable talent and a commitment to his education and teaching. The narrative hints at Bach's intricate relationship with his predecessors, suggesting that his genius was informed by the works of notable composers before him, such as Frescobaldi and Buxtehude. By providing historical context and detailing the evolution of Bach's style, the introduction prepares readers for an in-depth study of his organ compositions, which will explore their structure and significance within the broader spectrum of classical music.
