extraordinary sweep of Bach's music and understand his compositional language - whether you're a devoted admirer or a casual listener. You'll place Bach in context by tracing the musical traditions and composers from whom he drew his inspiration and learning how Bach absorbed these influences to become the transcendent composer of the High Baroque. Part I of these lectures gives an overview of Bach's life and the stylistic trends present in the music of the High Baroque. Part II explores the diverse world of Baroque Europe with an ear for those elements-musical and nonmusical-that together constitute Bach's inheritance. Part III continues with an in-depth examination of the influence on Bach of the French style and Italian opera. And Part IV features a detailed exploration of two of Bach's greatest masterpieces: the St. Matthew Passion and the Goldberg Variations. But above all, you'll hear music throughout these lectures - lots of it. Professor Greenberg devotes extensive discussions to the following Bach pieces, from which he plays major excerpts: the Brandenburg Concerto no. 2; the Cantata no. 140, "Wachet auf, uns ruft die Stimme"; the Coffee Cantata; the Fugue in C-sharp Major from The Well Tempered Clavier, Book I; the Goldberg Variations; the Partita no. 5 in G Major for Harpsichord; the St. Matthew Passion; the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; and the Violin Concerto in E Major. In addition, you'll be able to compare Bach with musical examples from Bizet, Chopin, Corelli, Couperin, Handel, Haydn, Lully, Palestrina, Pergolesi, Purcell, Rossini, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and other composers both before and after his time.
