Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Addresses some of the important issues confronted by scholarship on Bach's keyboard music, including what is meant by "keyboard music". The essay begins by examining some of the crucial implications of this question and its relation to Bach's oeuvre and scholarship. It then turns to related organological issues and their ramifications for performance. Scholarly inquiry into these matters has generally relied on source studies, a perennial strength of Bach scholarship, and the author turns to this area before moving to more recent work that adopts a more overtly hermeneutic approach. In conclusion, he presents a short case study of the debate over the authenticity of Bach's most famous "organ" work, the toccata and fugue in D minor (BWV 565): This controversy was joined over aspects of style and source studies, and, indeed, the question as to what constitutes keyboard music. In revisiting these scholarly tests and triumphs, the author hopes also to point towards some potentially rewarding directions for further research into Bach's keyboard works. His central claim—hardly objectionable—is that the cooperation not only among these fields, but also between performance and scholarship has led to some of the most important work in recent decades, and will continue to map out the productive territory ahead.
