Reviews

"A welcome contribution to the less explored field -- or at least one less explored outside opera -- of mid-eighteenth-century studies. . . . These authors present complex issues with clarity, shedding light on the development of instrumental music (without program!) from Bach to Mozart. They take proper care to avoid being overly prescriptive about historical trends and analytical conclusions." --BACH: Journal of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute

"It is a major challenge to do justice to the topic of Bach and Mozart and nearly impossible to fulfill the expectations of a book so entitled. Nevertheless, each of the six conference papers that make up the present volume (originally presented at the joint meeting of the American Bach and Mozart Societies at Stanford in 2019) add fresh and illuminating facets to the big picture of the two composers and their interrelationship."--Christoph Wolff, Bach's Musical Universe: The Composer and His Work
