Some two months after his fifty-second birthday, Johann Sebastian Bach opened a copy of a new, fashionable, and deliberately progressive music periodical and found himself the subject of a fierce attack. In his biography Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician, Christoph Wolff begins with a ten-page essay, a Proloque titled “Bach and the Notion of Musical Science,” which sets forth the thesis that Bach preferred to refer to himself as “one who produces works of musical science” rather than a “mere practitioner of music”. “ For Bach, art lay between the reality of the world – nature – and God, who ordered this reality.” - Christoph Wolff
All musicians - organists, harpsichordists, pianists, singers, conductors, string players - will greatly benefit from this study! All donations of 25 dollars or more will pay for a FREE PDF of the book when it is completed! “Discovering Bach’s Secret Tempo Code” will explain Bach’s practical system of tempo in easy-to-understand language void of fancy jargon. Hall has determined the actual and authentic tempos (in beats per minutes) that Bach intended for most of his major works. “Discovering Bach’s Secret Tempo Code” is destined to take the academic music world by storm, because what was previously thought to be a mystery (the tempos Bach planned for his music) is no longer a mystery. Hall resumed working on the project, which is estimated to finally be completed sometime in 2023. The project was well underway from 1992-2002, which was put on hiatus in 2002 for the next 20 years.
Hall first discovered Bach’s secret system of tempo in 1992 as a graduate student in piano and musicology.
HALL FUND HIS GROUNDBREAKING BOOK: The finished product will be a book of monumental proportions (over 300 pages) that explains and demonstrates Bach’s fascinating and ingenious system of tempo as applied to most of Bach’s major works (which include vocal, organ, keyboard, and chamber works).
