This short list isn't going to try to compete with the extensive list
of Bach internet resources catalogued at the 'J.S.Bach
Home Page'. I might be able to maintain the fewer links more reliably
however and include some others!
Opinions of JSB by other composers comprises an article appearing
on the Classic FM site.
How about a potted biography
for the pub trivia quiz!
Maybe a more authoritative source is this extract from the Grove
Concise Dictionary of Music where you will also find a small picture
gallery which includes Bach's personal logo which we have incorporated
on our home page.
Or again, here is a more complete
biography . This must be where Tim got his Summer
Party trivia questions from!
If you are after a particular recording
of a work by JSB you would probably track it down quickly here.
And if you need to check the name of that piece by Bach which you can't get out of your head, you could always nip over to
this site to listen to the MIDI
or MP3 file version!
Why not give our hard working librarian a break and purchase your own copy of the works we are currently rehearsing? You might find this site a convenient source.
A Google search on JSB produced 1.8 million hits and I have used some
of the early ones in that list to help compile this list. It would not
be surprising if some of those which Google found were not a bit more
bizarre than the others. Biographies appear to be numerous but perhaps
here is one with a slightly different
outlook!
Good surfing!
