First part of a three-volume series, Vol. 1 Suites BWV 995 & 996.  Individual aspects such as harmony, melody, movement structure, polyphony, tempo, articulation, questions concerning arrangements, fingering problems and much more are discussed in greater detail (with the aid of over 500 musical graphics).  The book investigates the history and structure of a variety of movement forms and their varying types.  The author devotes an entire chapter to the topic of ornamentation.  A wealth of concepts and theories are illustrated aurally with the help of the 99 musical extracts on the accompanying CD.
