Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book whisks you back to the lively, gaudy, and exuberantly excessive world of the early 18th century. It grants intimate access to the pulsating life of the Dresden court and its musical giants. At the heart of this fascinating historical novel is the encounter between Johann Sebastian Bach and the legendary French harpsichordist Louis Marchand, a moment that will shake the musical world of 1717 to its very core. The author leads us through a society defined by elaborate court rituals, unbridled appetites, and the relentless pursuit of ever more wanton artifice contrasted with the simple, pious, and deeply earnest life of the Bach family. Set against the backdrop of a Europe on the brink of profound change, it is not only the harmonic language of music that is fundamentally challenged. As the story unfolds, the dominant self-confidence radiating from the French court clashes with the more humble, yet no less genuine conviction held by German artists. With keen psychological insight and an eye for revealing details, the author masterfully portrays a cast of characters struggling to reconcile the irresistible allure of Enlightenment ideals with the weight of tradition, faith, and artistic integrity. Throughout this captivating tale, the reader is presented with the fundamental question of what truly defines greatness: is it the dazzling but often fleeting brilliance of virtuoso performance or the enduring substance of a work of art that speaks to the very depths of our humanity? This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282189815_0
