A Wealth of Music For A Small Price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Dover publishing has succeeded in printing a very affordable edition of the Bach-Gesellschaft editions of these major Bach works. The only complaint is that the print is rather small, so there's not much room to write in fingering,of which there are none. So this book, by the nature of the music and the lack of fingering, is not for the beginner.That's the only complaint that prevented a five-star rating. Recommended, despite the print size!
a bargain for the Bach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The Bach-Gesellschaft Edition, the definitive catalogue of the composer's keyboard (not organ) works, is reproduced in its entirety in this inexpensive edition by Dover. This is the best collection you will find of the Bach clavier canon outside of the Neue Bach Ausgabe catalog of his entire musical output. Though I have to admit that the print is rather small and difficult to read in places, I've grown accustomed to reading microscopic Baroque scores and had no unusual difficulty playing from the pages. Dover publishes great books at the lowest prices, from Thrift Editions of poetry, short stories, and novellas, to classical music scores, and this edition is perhaps the best value of the latter. Though not as 'standardized' as Schirmer and Carl Fischer, nor as studious as the Urtext version of Bach offered by that conservatory favorite G. Henle Verlag, Dover's Bach-Gesellschaft delivers enough bang for the buck (Bach) to win over both my wallet and a place in my score library.P. S. This book is not recommended for beginners.
The best book a music lover will ever buy

Bach's English Suites, French Suites, Partitas, Goldberg Variations, Inventions & Sinfonias in one well-produced volume. Priceless music for such a low price. It doesn't get much better than this.
